[{"from": "human", "value": "What can you tell me about this molecule? [C][C][=C][C][=C][C][=C][Ring1][=Branch1][O]"}, {"from": "gpt", "value": "The molecule is a minor urinary metabolite of toluene, a widely used chemical with neurotoxicological properties. (A7726). o-Cresol is used commercially as a disinfectant. Exposure may occur by inhalation, by cutaneous adsorption or by oral ingestion. o-Cresol denature and precipitate cellular proteins and thus may rapidly cause poisoning. o-Cresol is metabolized by conjugation and oxidation. Ingestion of o-Cresol cause intense burning of mouth and throat, followed by marked abdominal pain and distress. The minimum lethal dose of cresol by mouth is about 2 g. (A5610)."}]
