Metabolite Identification
Common Name3,5-Dimethoxyphenol
Description3,5-Dimethoxyphenol belongs to the class of organic compounds known as methoxyphenols. Methoxyphenols are compounds containing a methoxy group attached to the benzene ring of a phenol moiety. 3,5-Dimethoxyphenol is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Outside of the human body, 3,5-Dimethoxyphenol has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as cumins, white lupines, common salsifies, dates, and herbs and spices. This could make 3,5-dimethoxyphenol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. In such a case, the intoxication can be signalized by the presence of 3,5-dimethoxyphenol in biological material (PMID: 20942244 ). Autopsy findings of fatal intoxication with yew are nonspecific. If yew decoction is consumed, plant residues are not found. A presence of plant residues in the digestive tract can signalize yew intoxication. 3,5-Dimethoxyphenol is a toxin metabolite that can be found in human consuming yew (Taxus baccata) leaves.
