Metabolite Identification
Common Name3-Hydroxymandelic acid
Description3-Hydroxymandelic acid, also known as m-hydroxymandelate or mhma, 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-Hydroxymandelic acid is possibly soluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa).
