Anisole [100-66-3] |
| Theoretical prediction: In mammals anisole (1) may be demethylated by cytochrome P450 to phenol (2) or hydroxylated in 2- or 4-position - (3) respectively (4). Further degradation of phenol (2) see metabolism page of phenol. Hydroxyanisoles may be conjugated with glucuronic acid or sulfate (6+7) respectively (9+10). Another possibility to follow the metabolic pathway of phenol degradation is the subsequent demethylation of 2-hydroxyanisole (3) to catechol (8) or of 4-hydroxyanisole (4) to hydroquinone (5). Further degradation of these intermediates see metabolism page of phenol. |
