5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
5.1 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

Humans normally excrete approximately 50 mg of p-cresol in the urine daily. p-Cresol is produced endogenously from tyrosine by anaerobic bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract.

Sullivan, J.B., Krieger G.R. (eds). Clinical Environmental Health and Toxic Exposures. Second edition. Lippincott Williams and Wilkins, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 1999., p. 1259


The normal human excretes 16 to 39 mg p-cresol/day.

Bingham, E.; Cohrssen, B.; Powell, C.H.; Patty's Toxicology Volumes 1-9 5th ed. John Wiley & Sons. New York, N.Y. (2001)., p. V4 446


Cresols are slightly more corrosive /to the skin or eyes/ than phenol, but systemic effects may be a little milder because of slower absorption.

Gosselin, R.E., R.P. Smith, H.C. Hodge. Clinical Toxicology of Commercial Products. 5th ed. Baltimore: Williams and Wilkins, 1984., p. II-192


Healthy humans excrete an average of about 50 mg (range 16-74 mg) of p-cresol in the urine daily. Endogenous p-cresol is produced from tyrosine, an amino acid present in most proteins, by anaerobic bacteria in the intestine. Free p-cresol formed in this way is absorbed from the intestine and eliminated in the urine as conjugates.

WHO; Environ Health Criteria 168: Cresols (1995). Available from, as of December 22, 2014: https://www.inchem.org/pages/ehc.html

5.2 Metabolism/Metabolites

p-Cresol fed to rabbits is excreted in the urine as the glucuronide (60%) and sulfate (15%) conjugates, some 10% is oxidized to p-hydroxybenzoic acid and a trace is hydroxylated to 3,4-dihydroxytoluene.

Parke, D. V. The Biochemistry of Foreign Compounds. Oxford: Pergamon Press, 1968., p. 147


p-Cresol yields p-cresyl-beta-d-glucuronide, p-cresyl sulfate, p-hydroxybenzyl alcohol, 4-methylcatechol, and p-methylanisole in rabbits.

Goodwin, B.L. Handbook of Intermediary Metabolism of Aromatic Compounds. New York: Wiley, 1976., p. C-59


p-Cresol yields p-cresyl sulfate in man.

Goodwin, B.L. Handbook of Intermediary Metabolism of Aromatic Compounds. New York: Wiley, 1976., p. C-59


p-Cresol yields p-cresyl sulfate and p-methylanisole in rats.
