Metabolite Identification
Common NameButanone
DescriptionButanone, also known as aethylmethylketon or methyl acetone, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as ketones. These are organic compounds in which a carbonyl group is bonded to two carbon atoms R2C=O (neither R may be a hydrogen atom). Ketones that have one or more alpha-hydrogen atoms undergo keto-enol tautomerization, the tautomer being an enol. Thus, butanone is considered to be an oxygenated hydrocarbon. Butanone is an acetone, camphor, and ethereal tasting compound. Butanone is found, on average, in the highest concentration within milk (cow) and peppermints (Mentha X piperita). Butanone has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as japanese chestnuts (Castanea crenata), saskatoon berries (Amelanchier alnifolia), red onion, almonds (Prunus dulcis), and burbots (Lota lota). This could make butanone a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Butanone 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. Butanone, with regard to humans, has been found to be associated with several diseases such as crohn's disease, pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified, asthma, and ulcerative colitis; butanone has also been linked to the inborn metabolic disorder celiac disease. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Butanone.
