Metabolite Identification
Common Name3-Phenoxybenzoic acid
Description3-Phenoxybenzoic acid, also known as 3-carboxybiphenyl ether or 3-PHOC6H4CO2H, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as diphenylethers. These are aromatic compounds containing two benzene rings linked to each other through an ether group. 3-Phenoxybenzoic acid has been detected, but not quantified in, a few different foods, such as anatidaes (Anatidae), chickens (Gallus gallus), and domestic pigs (Sus scrofa domestica). This could make 3-phenoxybenzoic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. 3-Phenoxybenzoic acid 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 significant number of articles have been published on 3-Phenoxybenzoic acid.
