Abstract

Nitrocompounds are regarded as the chemical compounds which involved a nitro (-NO2) group. Both the naturally occurring nitrocompounds (3-nitropropanol and 3-nitropropionic acid) from Astragalus, Coronill and Indigofera and the industrial nitrocompounds (nitroalkane, nitroethanol, 3-nitroester-1-propanol, etc.) have recently been discovered to have the efficient activity of the reduction of methane production in ruminant animals, and these nitrocompounds were metabolized by rumen microorganisms. The present review provided a picture of current progress in the taxonomy of nitrocompounds. In addition, the detoxification mechanism of nitrocompounds were also discussed.
