Metabolite Identification
Common NameDichloromethane
DescriptionDichloromethane, also known as DCM or methylenchlorid, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as halomethanes. These are organic compounds in which at least one of the four hydrogen atoms of methane (CH4) are replaced by halogen atoms. Dichloromethane is a primary metabolite. Primary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically essential metabolites. They are directly involved in an organism’s growth, development or reproduction. Dichloromethane is formally rated as a probable carcinogen (by IARC 2A) and is also a potentially toxic compound. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Dichloromethane.
