Product Information

• Name: S-Phenylmercapturic acid
• Synonyms: N-Acetyl-S-phenyl-L-cysteineN-Acetyl-3-(phenylthio)alanine, NSC 17197
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: S-Phenylmercapturic acid is an analytical method that can be used to measure the concentration of guanine nucleotide-binding (GMP) in urine. This assay is a sensitive and specific test for urinary GMP. The linear calibration curve for this assay was determined by plotting the fluorescence intensity of s-phenylmercapturic acid against the concentration of GMP. S-Phenylmercapturic acid has been used as a marker for heart disease, kidney disease, and diabetes mellitus type 2. S-Phenylmercapturic acid also has toxicological studies that show it is not carcinogenic or teratogenic and does not affect fertility or reproduction. The use of s-phenylmercapturic acid as a biomarker for GMP has been validated using matrix effect techniques and solid phase microextraction followed by dispersive solid phase extraction on a column with a fluorescence detector.
