Metabolite Identification
Common Name3-Hydroxyphenylacetic acid
Description3-Hydroxyphenylacetic acid, also known as (m-hydroxyphenyl)acetate or 3-hydroxybenzeneacetate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as 1-hydroxy-4-unsubstituted benzenoids. These are phenols that are unsubstituted at the 4-position. 3-Hydroxyphenylacetic acid exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa) molecule. 3-Hydroxyphenylacetic acid exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. 3-Hydroxyphenylacetic acid has been found to be associated with several diseases known as colorectal cancer and eosinophilic esophagitis; also 3-hydroxyphenylacetic acid has been linked to the inborn metabolic disorders including phenylketonuria.
