General description

2,5-Hexanedione (2,5HD) is a major metabolite of methyl n-butyl ketone. It is neurotoxic in nature and is water soluble.[1]

Application

It was used as reference standard for the determination of 2,5HD in human urine using gas chromatography-electron capture detection and gas chromatography-mass selective detection.[2]

Germ cell apoptosis directly induced by x-radiation (x-ray) exposure is stage specific, with a higher incidence in stage II/III seminiferous tubules. A priming exposure to the Sertoli cell toxicant 2,5-hexanedione (HD) results in a marked reduction in x-ray-induced germ cell

2,5-Hexanedione (HD) is the metabolite implicated in n-hexane neurotoxicity. This gamma-diketone reacts with protein lysine amines to form 2,5-dimethylpyrrole adducts. Pyrrole adduction of neurofilaments (NF) and/or other axonal proteins was proposed as a critical step in the neuropathy. While pyrrole
