Urushiol

Urushiols are substitutes 1-(alkyl)- or 1-(alkenyl)-2,3-dihydroxybenzenes, where the alkyl/alkenyl group is C15–C17 with one to three double bonds. Urushiol is a mixture of several catechol derivatives that are the main constituents of the irritant oil of plants of the Toxicodendron species, such as poison ivy, poison oak, and the Asiatic lacquer tree. It is responsible for the dermatitis condition commonly known as poison ivy, and this is an important environmental hazard in natural environments and the agroecosystem as well as urban environments and military deployments. Urushiol causes hypersensitivity in a large percentage of the population by dermal contact, or more seriously, through inhalation of burning vegetation.
