Metabolite Identification
Common NameToluene
DescriptionToluene, also known as methylbenzene or toluol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as toluenes. Toluenes are compounds containing a benzene ring which bears a methane group. Toluene is a drug which is used for the removal of ascarids (toxocara canis and toxascaris leonina) and hookworms (ancylostoma caninum and uncinaria stenocephala) and as an aid in removing tapeworms (taenia pisiformis, dipylidium caninum, and echinococcus granulosus) from dogs and cats. Toluene exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and possibly neutral molecule. Toluene exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Toluene is a potentially toxic compound. Toluene has been found to be associated with several diseases known as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified, perillyl alcohol administration for cancer treatment, and autism; also toluene has been linked to the inborn metabolic disorders including celiac disease.
