phenol-containing compound metabolic process |
| Synonyms |
hydroxybenzene metabolic process phenol-containing compound metabolism hydroxybenzene metabolism carbolic acid metabolism carbolic acid metabolic process |
| Definitions |
The chemical reactions and pathways involving a phenol, any compound containing one or more hydroxyl groups directly attached to an aromatic carbon ring. Note that phenol metabolism is not included as a child of 'xenobiotic metabolism' because although it is synthesized industrially, phenol is also found naturally in animal wastes and other organic materials. It is often formed by the activity of microorganisms, which can chemically modify a variety of xenobiotic and naturally occurring phenolic compounds. |
