Metabolite Identification
Common Name3,5-Di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzoic acid
Description3,5-Di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzoic acid, also known as BHT-COOH or 4-carboxy-2,6-di-tert-butylphenol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as hydroxybenzoic acid derivatives. Hydroxybenzoic acid derivatives are compounds containing a hydroxybenzoic acid (or a derivative), which is a benzene ring bearing a carboxyl and a hydroxyl groups. BHT-COOH is a metabolite of 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol (BHA), a synthetic phenolic antioxidant (SPA). SPAs are a family of chemicals used widely in foods, polymers, and cosmetics as radical trapping agents to slow down degradation due to oxidation. Given their widespread use, human exposure is unavoidable and there is public concern regarding environmental contamination by these chemicals. BHT-OH was detected in human urine (PMID: 31265952 ).
