Disease relevance of propylbenzene

• Coexistence of different pathways in the metabolism of n-propylbenzene by Pseudomonas sp [1].

High impact information on propylbenzene

• Pseudomonas desmolytica S449B1 and Pseudomonas convexa S107B1 grown on n-propylbenzene oxidized n-propylbenzene to beta-phenylpropionic acid and benzoic acid by initial oxidation of the n-propyl side chain and the following beta-oxidation, respectively [1].
• Lignin is a highly branched polymer consisting of phenylpropane units, and it is one of the ingredients of the supporting matrix in plant cell walls [2].
• Tricyclic 9,10-dihydrophenanthrenes originate from phenylpropane derivatives by chain elongation and cyclization according to the polyacetate rule [3].
• The aerial parts of ARTEMISIA DRACUNCULUS afforded several known compounds as well as three new acetylenes, two phenylpropane derivatives, two monoterpenes, hex-3 Z-en-1-ol and vomifoliol A glucosides [4].
• 2. Rats were treated with daily injections of hydrocarbons (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, n-propylbenzene, m- and p-xylene) for 3 days, and the effects on specific RNA levels were examined by Northern blot hybridization [5].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of propylbenzene

• The chemical structure of lignin, a complex, irregular polymer of phenylpropane units that occurs in plant cell walls, was investigated using time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) [6].
