  <name>Vanylglycol</name>
  <description>Vanylglycol, also known as MHPG or vanylglycol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as methoxyphenols. Methoxyphenols are compounds containing a methoxy group attached to the benzene ring of a phenol moiety. Vanylglycol is possibly soluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Vanylglycol and pyrocatechol can be biosynthesized from 3,4-dihydroxyphenylglycol and guaiacol through its interaction with the enzyme catechol O-methyltransferase. In cattle, vanylglycol is involved in the metabolic pathway called the tyrosine metabolism pathway.</description>
