Metabolite Identification
Common NameEugenyl benzoate
DescriptionEugenyl benzoate belongs to the class of organic compounds known as depsides and depsidones. These are polycyclic compounds that is either a polyphenolic compound composed of two or more monocyclic aromatic units linked by an ester bond (depside), or a compound containing the depsidone structure (depsidone). Eugenyl benzoate is a mild, balsam, and clove tasting compound. Eugenyl benzoate has been detected, but not quantified in, herbs and spices. This could make eugenyl benzoate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review a small amount of articles have been published on Eugenyl benzoate.

Enzymes

General function:
Lipid transport and metabolism
Specific function:
Involved in the detoxification of xenobiotics and in the activation of ester and amide prodrugs. Hydrolyzes aromatic and aliphatic esters, but has no catalytic activity toward amides or a fatty acyl-CoA ester. Hydrolyzes the methyl ester group of cocaine to form benzoylecgonine. Catalyzes the transesterification of cocaine to form cocaethylene. Displays fatty acid ethyl ester synthase activity, catalyzing the ethyl esterification of oleic acid to ethyloleate.
