Metabolite Identification
Common Name1,2-dihydroxydibenzothiophene
Description1,2-dihydroxydibenzothiophene is a polycyclic aromatic compound belonging to the class of dibenzothiophenes. This metabolite is primarily formed during the microbial degradation of dibenzothiophene (DBT), a sulfur-containing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon. In the degradation pathway, strain JB cometabolically degrades DBT to 1,2-dihydroxydibenzothiophene, which is subsequently converted to a ring cleavage product (PMID:28821932 ). The compound can be oxidized by cis-Naphthalene dihydrodiol dehydrogenase, an enzyme isolated from Pseudomonas putida, resulting in a product tentatively identified as 1,2-dihydroxydibenzothiophene (PMID:596875 ). Further metabolism of this compound by heat-treated cell extracts leads to the formation of 4[2-(3-hydroxy)-thionaphthenyl]-2-oxo-3-butenoic acid, indicating its involvement in complex metabolic pathways (PMID:596875 ). The chemical structure of 1,2-dihydroxydibenzothiophene features hydroxyl groups at the 1 and 2 positions of the dibenzothiophene framework, contributing to its reactivity and interactions with various biological systems.
