• Beschreibung: 3-Ethyl-2-hydroxy-2-cyclopenten-1-one is a chemical compound that belongs to the group of cyclopentenones. 3EHC has been shown to have genotoxic effects and is a potent mutagen in bacteria and mammalian cells. The acidic ph of 3EHC makes it more active in the presence of fatty acids, which allow it to penetrate the cell membrane. 3EHC also reacts with glyoxal, producing toxic reactive oxygen species including hydrogen peroxide and hydroxyl radicals. In a human lymphocyte model system, 3EHC caused DNA damage by increasing the frequency of DNA strand breakage. This chemical compound can be extracted from food sources such as soybean oil and can be analysed by gel chromatography or acetate extraction methods.
