Metabolite Identification
Common NameSquaric acid
Descriptionsquaric acid, also known as quadratsaeure or squarate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as vinylogous acids. These are organic compounds containing a hydroxyl group, which is indirectly attached to a carbonyl via an intervening vinyl (>C=C<) moiety. squaric 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 squaric acid. This compound has been identified in human blood as reported by (PMID: 31557052 ). Squaric acid is not a naturally occurring metabolite and is only found in those individuals exposed to this compound or its derivatives. Technically Squaric acid 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.
