Product Information

• Name: 4-Chlorohippuric acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4-Chlorohippuric acid is an active analogue of hippuric acid and is metabolized by cytochrome P450. It has a high chemical stability, which makes it a useful substrate for kinetic studies. The metabolism of 4-chlorohippuric acid to the corresponding sulfoxide (4-chloro-3'-sulfoxyhippurate) was found to be dependent on the concentration of rat liver microsomes in vitro and plasma concentrations in vivo. 4-Chlorohippuric acid is excreted mainly as hippuric acid in urine samples from humans and animals. Hippuric acid may also be formed by denaturation of 4-chlorohippurate or by hydrolysis of the amide bond between the two chloro groups.
