Metabolite Identification
Common NameVanillactic acid
DescriptionVanillactic acid, also known as vanillactate or VLA, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as phenylpropanoic acids. Phenylpropanoic acids are compounds with a structure containing a benzene ring conjugated to a propanoic acid. Vanillactic acid is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Vanillactic acid is a potentially toxic compound. Vanillactic acid, with regard to humans, has been linked to the inborn metabolic disorder aromatic l-amino acid decarboxylase deficiency.
