CAS: 5798-88-9

Hippuric acid is a naturally occurring compound that is found in the urine of humans and other mammals. 3-Bromo-3-methylbutanoic acid inhibits the activity of enzymes that catalyze reactions involving an organic acid, such as anthranilic or citric acids. It has been shown to be biodegradable and not toxic to humans. The inhibitory effect of 3-bromo-3-methylbutanoic acid on enzymes is reversible, with the exception of methyl esterification, where it remains inhibited even after removal. This compound may be used as a preservative in food products or cosmetics.
