Metabolite Identification
Common Name4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvic acid
Description4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvic acid, also known as 4-hydroxy a-oxobenzenepropanoate or (p-hydroxyphenyl)pyruvate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as phenylpyruvic acid derivatives. Phenylpyruvic acid derivatives are compounds containing a phenylpyruvic acid moiety, which consists of a phenyl group substituted at the second position by an pyruvic acid. 4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvic acid exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa) molecule. 4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvic acid exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. 4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvic acid is a potentially toxic compound.
