Metabolite Identification
Common NameEnterolactone
DescriptionEnterolactone, also known as HPMF or 2,3-BHBB, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as dibenzylbutyrolactone lignans. These are lignan compounds containing a 3,4-dibenzyloxolan-2-one moiety. Enterolactone is possibly soluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Enterolactone is a potentially toxic compound.
