Metabolite Identification
Common NameOrtho-Hydroxyphenylacetic acid
DescriptionOrtho-hydroxyphenylacetic acid, also known as (O-hydroxyphenyl)acetate or 2-hydroxybenzeneacetic acid, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as 2(hydroxyphenyl)acetic acids. These are phenylacetic acids that carry a hydroxyl group at the 2-position. Ortho-hydroxyphenylacetic acid exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa) molecule. Ortho-hydroxyphenylacetic acid exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. Ortho-hydroxyphenylacetic acid has been found to be associated with several diseases known as eosinophilic esophagitis and irritable bowel syndrome; also ortho-hydroxyphenylacetic acid has been linked to the inborn metabolic disorders including phenylketonuria.
