4860 Phenylacetaldehyde Phenylacetaldehyde is one important oxidation-related aldehyde. Exposure to styrene gives phenylacetaldehyde as a secondary metabolite. Styrene has been implicated as reproductive toxicant, neurotoxicant, or carcinogen in vivo or in vitro. Phenylacetaldehyde could be formed by diverse thermal reactions during the cooking process together with C8 compounds is identified as a major aroma- active compound in cooked pine mushroom. Phenylacetaldehyde is readily oxidized to phenylacetic acid. Therefore will eventually be hydrolyzed and oxidized to yield phenylacetic acid that will be excreted primarily in the urine in conjugated form. (A7898, A7899, A7900). Phenylacetaldehyde is an aromatic compound found in buckwheat, chocolate and many other foods and flowers. It is also responsible for the antibiotic activity of maggot therapy and it is also a compound that is added to cigarettes to improve their aroma. 122-78-1 998 C8H8O 120.15 White powder. 33.5°C 195°C Not listed by IARC. This is an endogenously produced metabolite found in the human body. It is used in metabolic reactions, catabolic reactions or waste generation. 2014-09-11T05:17:23Z 2026-05-14T17:30:10Z http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PAA C00601 16424 HYDRPHENYLAC-CPD DB02178 HY1 true O=CCC1=CC=CC=C1 C8H8O InChI=1S/C8H8O/c9-7-6-8-4-2-1-3-5-8/h1-5,7H,6H2 DTUQWGWMVIHBKE-UHFFFAOYSA-N 120.1485 120.057514878 Endogenous Solid 1.78 HMDB06236 CHEMBL1233464 13876539 CHEM003762 DTXSID3021483 NS00013128 2-phenylacetaldehyde 17.07 36.440200000000004 12.905302752648495 2 1 0 14.982569531878866 -7.049910347965294 0 1 1.75 -1.76 2.08e+00 g/l
