Metabolite Identification
Common NameHydroxyphenyllactic acid
Description3-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)lactic acid, also known as 4-hydroxyphenyllactate or hpla, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as phenylpropanoic acids. Phenylpropanoic acids are compounds with a structure containing a benzene ring conjugated to a propanoic acid. 3-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)lactic acid is possibly soluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). 3-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)lactic acid exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans. 3-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)lactic acid is a potentially toxic compound. 3-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)lactic acid has been found to be associated with several diseases known as eosinophilic esophagitis, colorectal cancer, and supradiaphragmatic malignancy; also 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)lactic acid has been linked to the inborn metabolic disorders including phenylketonuria.
