Metabolite Identification
Common Name3-Hydroxybenzoic acid
Description3-Hydroxybenzoic acid, also known as 3-hydroxybenzoate or 3-carboxyphenol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as hydroxybenzoic acid derivatives. Hydroxybenzoic acid derivatives are compounds containing a hydroxybenzoic acid (or a derivative), which is a benzene ring bearing a carboxyl and a hydroxyl groups. 3-Hydroxybenzoic acid is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). 3-Hydroxybenzoic acid exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans.
