Description

4-Vinylphenol is an aromatic organic compound with the formula C8H8O. It is a colorless liquid that is soluble in water. 4-Vinylphenol is found in a variety of foods and beverages, including wine, beer, and coffee. It is also produced by some plants as a defense mechanism against insects and fungi. 4-Vinylphenol is synthesized by the enzymatic decarboxylation of ferulic acid. It has been shown to have antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. 4-Vinylphenol is studied for its potential to be used as a food additive, a pharmaceutical agent, or a biofuel. It is also studied for its role in the flavor and aroma of food and beverages. It is important for understanding its role in the flavor and aroma of food and beverages. It is also important for understanding its potential health effects. 4-Vinylphenol is a volatile compound, which means that it can easily evaporate into the air. This makes it difficult to study its effects in the environment. The compound is not generally considered hazardous, but further study is needed to determine its impact on human health.'

Toxicity

ExcerptReferenceRelevance
" It has generally been presumed that styrene toxicity is mediated by styrene 7,8-oxide, but styrene oxide is not much more toxic than styrene."( Ring-oxidized metabolites of styrene contribute to styrene-induced Clara-cell toxicity in mice.
Carlson, GP; Cruzan, G; Mellert, W; Turner, M, 2005
)

"Styrene is known to be hepatotoxic and pneumotoxic in rodents, and these adverse effects are related to its metabolism."( Hepatotoxicity and pneumotoxicity of styrene and its metabolites in glutathione S-transferase-deficient mice.
Carlson, GP, 2011
)

" S and its alkene-oxidized metabolite styrene oxide (SO) were not lung toxic in CYP2F2(-/-) [knockout] mice, indicating S-induced mouse lung tumors are mediated through mouse-specific CYP2F2-generated ring-oxidized metabolite(s) in lung bronchioles."( Studies of styrene, styrene oxide and 4-hydroxystyrene toxicity in CYP2F2 knockout and CYP2F1 humanized mice support lack of human relevance for mouse lung tumors.
