Metabolite Identification
Common NameHumulene epoxide I
DescriptionHumulene epoxide I, also known as aethan or methylmethane, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alkanes. These are acyclic branched or unbranched hydrocarbons having the general formula CnH2n+2 , and therefore consisting entirely of hydrogen atoms and saturated carbon atoms. Humulene epoxide I exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. Humulene epoxide I is a secondary metabolite. Secondary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically non-essential metabolites that may serve a role as defense or signalling molecules. In some cases they are simply molecules that arise from the incomplete metabolism of other secondary metabolites. Based on a literature review a small amount of articles have been published on Humulene epoxide I.
