Metabolite Identification
Common Name2-phenylbut-2-enal
Description2-phenylbut-2-enal is a member of the aromatic aldehyde chemical class, characterized by its unique structure featuring a phenyl group attached to a butenal backbone. This compound is involved in various metabolic pathways, particularly those related to the degradation of aromatic compounds. Notably, levels of 2-phenylbut-2-enal (up to 399 μg·kg-1) and 5-methyl-2-phenylhex-2-enal (up to 216 μg·kg-1) increased up to 40-fold, suggesting its potential role in metabolic processes or as a biomarker in certain conditions (PMID:38808883 ). Additionally, studies have shown that aromatic aldehydes, including 2-phenylbut-2-enal, dominate in fresh samples of certain biological materials, with significant reductions observed during processing; for instance, 2-phenylbut-2-enal was not present after drying, indicating its volatility and potential instability under certain conditions (PMID:35745662 ). This highlights the compound's relevance in both natural and processed biological contexts, as well as its potential implications in the study of metabolism and environmental interactions.
