Vanillylmandelic acid

Description:

Vanillylmandelic acid (VMA) is an organic compound that serves as a significant metabolite of catecholamines, particularly epinephrine and norepinephrine. It is characterized by its aromatic structure, which includes a vanillin moiety and a mandelic acid component. VMA is typically found in urine and is often measured in clinical settings to diagnose and monitor certain neuroendocrine tumors, such as pheochromocytomas and neuroblastomas. The compound is soluble in water and exhibits a slightly acidic nature due to the presence of the carboxylic acid group. Its molecular formula is C9H10O5, and it has a molecular weight that reflects its composition of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. In addition to its clinical significance, VMA is also of interest in biochemical research, particularly in studies related to stress response and metabolic pathways involving catecholamines. Overall, vanillylmandelic acid plays a crucial role in both medical diagnostics and biochemical research.

DL-4-Hydroxy-3-methoxymandelic acid

CAS: 55-10-7

DL-4-Hydroxy-3-methoxymandelic acid is a metabolite of the catecholamines, norepinephrine and epinephrine. It is found in the blood, urine and cerebrospinal fluid of humans. DL-4-Hydroxy-3-methoxymandelic acid is derived from the amino acid tyrosine. When the body's production of catecholamines exceeds its ability to break them down, these molecules accumulate and are excreted in urine as DL-4-hydroxy-3-methoxymandelic acid or as other metabolites. The concentration of DL-4-hydroxy 3 methoxymandelic acid in urine may be used to diagnose pheochromocytoma or neuroblastoma.
