| Common Name | 4-Methylimidazole |
|---|
| Description | 4-methylimidazole, also known as 4-me-I or 4MI, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as imidazoles. Imidazoles are compounds containing an imidazole ring, which is an aromatic five-member ring with two nitrogen atoms at positions 1 and 3, and three carbon atoms. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on 4-methylimidazole. This compound has been identified in human blood as reported by (PMID: 31557052 ). 4-methylimidazole is not a naturally occurring metabolite and is only found in those individuals exposed to this compound or its derivatives. Technically 4-Methylimidazole is part of the human exposome. The exposome can be defined as the collection of all the exposures of an individual in a lifetime and how those exposures relate to health. An individual's exposure begins before birth and includes insults from environmental and occupational sources. |
