Application: | Hippuric acid may be used as an analytical reference standard for the quantification of the analyte in the following: • Human biological fluids using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with UV detection. • Human and rat urine samples using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS). • Human urine samples using GC equipped with a flame ionization detector. |
General description: | Hippuric acid, the glycine conjugate of benzoic acid, is formed via a biotransformation process. From scientific literature, it is reported to be found as an excretory product in urine. Hippuric acid is also known to be catabolically synthesized from benzene-type aromatic compounds, believed to be originated from various factors such as environmental exposures, basic human liver metabolism of protein catabolism, cyclic sugar type-compounds, quinic acid, etc. |
