hippuric acid

Hippuric acid (2-Benzamidoacetic acid) is an acyl glycine formed by the conjugation of benzoic acid with glycine. Hippuric acid) is a normal component of urine and is typically increased with increased consumption of phenolic compounds (tea, wine, fruit juices). These phenols are converted to benzoic acid which is then converted to hippuric acid and excreted in the urine.

Polyphenol metabolite.

4-Aminohippuric Acid is the glycine amide of 4-aminobenzoic acid. Its sodium salt is used as a diagnostic aid to measure effective renal plasma flow (ERPF) and excretory capacity.

3-Hydroxyhippuric acid is an acyl glycine, typically a minor metabolite of fatty acids [acyl glycines].

Benzoic acid (Dracylic acid) is a fungistatic compound that is widely used as a food preservative. It is conjugated to GLYCINE in the liver and excreted as hippuric acid.

Salicyluric acid (2-Hydroxy Hippuric Acid) is a metabolite of Salicylic Acid.
