Metabolite Identification
Common NameIsoprene
DescriptionIsoprene, also known as 2-methylbutadiene or 2-methyldivinyl, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as branched unsaturated hydrocarbons. These are hydrocarbons that contains one or more unsaturated carbon atoms, and an aliphatic branch. Isoprene has been detected, but not quantified in, a few different foods, such as carrots (Daucus carota ssp. sativus), sweet oranges (Citrus sinensis), and wild carrots (Daucus carota). This could make isoprene a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Isoprene is a primary metabolite. Primary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically essential metabolites. They are directly involved in an organism’s growth, development or reproduction. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Isoprene.
