Product Information

• Name: 4-Methyl hippuric acid
• Synonyms: p-Toluric acid N-(4-Methylbenzoyl)-glycine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4-Methyl hippuric acid is a metabolite of benzoic acid, and is excreted in the urine as an end product of phenylalanine metabolism. The matrix effect is a phenomenon that is observed when chromatographic analysis occurs in the presence of impurities or other substances. It can be minimized by using an optimum concentration of hydrochloric acid to extract the analyte from the sample matrix. 4-Methyl hippuric acid can be detected in urine samples by using a chromatographic method and then quantified by measuring its s-phenylmercapturic acid content. This compound has been used as a marker for determining blood pressure and has also been shown to have antihypertensive effects.
