phenol-containing compound metabolic process |
| Synonyms |
phenol-containing compound metabolism hydroxybenzene metabolic process carbolic acid metabolic process hydroxybenzene metabolism carbolic acid metabolism |
| 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. |
