Metabolite Identification
Common NameThymoquinone
DescriptionThymoquinone, also known as TQ, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as p-benzoquinones. These are benzoquinones where the two C=O groups are attached at the 1- and 4-positions, respectively. Thymoquinone is found, on average, in the highest concentration within winter savories (Satureja montana). Thymoquinone has also been detected, but not quantified in, herbs and spices. This could make thymoquinone a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Thymoquinone 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 Thymoquinone.
