Metabolite Identification
Common NameMethyl isobutyl ketone
DescriptionMethyl isobutyl ketone, also known as isobutyl methyl ketone or isopropylacetone, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as ketones. These are organic compounds in which a carbonyl group is bonded to two carbon atoms R2C=O (neither R may be a hydrogen atom). Ketones that have one or more alpha-hydrogen atoms undergo keto-enol tautomerization, the tautomer being an enol. Thus, methyl isobutyl ketone is considered to be an oxygenated hydrocarbon. Methyl isobutyl ketone, with regard to humans, has been found to be associated with several diseases such as ulcerative colitis, pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified, perillyl alcohol administration for cancer treatment, and autism; methyl isobutyl ketone has also been linked to the inborn metabolic disorder celiac disease. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Methyl isobutyl ketone.
