Product Information

• Name: 2,5-Diaminobenzoic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2,5-Diaminobenzoic acid is a metabolite of histidine and can be found in the urine. It can be used as a biomarker for the detection of renal disease, liver disease, and diabetes. 2,5-Diaminobenzoic acid is synthesized by the condensation of two molecules of histidine with one molecule of carbon dioxide from the air to form 2-amino-benzoic acid. The reaction requires molybdenum and hydrochloric acid to take place. The final product has fluorescence properties that can be visualized using UV light. The amount of 2,5-diaminobenzoic acid present in urine samples correlates with the level of biogenic amines such as tyramine, octopamine, dopamine, phenethylamine, tryptamine, beta-phenylethylamine (PEA), and 3-methoxytyramine.
