Product Description
4-Hydroxyhippuric acid is a by-product of polyphenol metabolism that increases microbiota activity associated with refeeding.
4-Hydroxyhippuric acid (p-hydroxyhippuric acid) (CAS#: 2482-25-9) is an N-acylglycine and a 4-hydroxy derivative of hippuric acid. It has a molecular formula of C9H9NO4 and a molecular weight of 195.17. It is a by-product of polyphenol metabolism and increases microbiota activity associated with refeeding. 4-Hydroxyhippuric acid is a human serum metabolite and is associated with health conditions such as uremia and eosinophilic esophagitis. It is a potential indicator in metabolic and clinical biomarker studies.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
4-Hydroxyhippuric acid does not have a specific molecular target but functions as a metabolite and potential biomarker. As a by-product of polyphenol metabolism, it reflects the activity of the gut microbiota. It is a human serum metabolite and is associated with various health conditions, including uremia and eosinophilic esophagitis. Its function is related to N-benzoylglycine, and it is the conjugate acid of p-hydroxyhippurate. Its role as a metabolite makes it a valuable tool for studying metabolic pathways and clinical biomarkers.
ln Vitro
In vitro, 4-Hydroxyhippuric acid is used as a reference standard and in studies of polyphenol metabolism. It is a by-product of polyphenol degradation and can be detected in human serum and urine. It increases microbiota activity associated with refeeding. The compound's activity is related to its role as a metabolite rather than a pharmacologically active compound. Its concentrations can be measured by HPLC or LC-MS/MS in biological samples. It is a potential indicator in metabolic and clinical biomarker studies.
ln Vivo
In vivo, 4-Hydroxyhippuric acid is a human serum metabolite that is associated with various health conditions. It is a by-product of polyphenol metabolism and reflects the activity of the gut microbiota. Its levels in serum and urine are associated with uremia, eosinophilic esophagitis, and other health conditions. It serves as a potential biomarker for metabolic and clinical studies. The compound is not used as a therapeutic agent but as a research tool for studying metabolism and disease biomarkers.
Enzyme Assay
The in vitro assays for 4-Hydroxyhippuric acid typically involve analytical chemistry methods such as HPLC or LC-MS/MS for quantification in biological samples. The compound is extracted from serum, urine, or tissue homogenates using solid-phase extraction or protein precipitation. Chromatographic separation is performed using a C18 column with a mobile phase of acetonitrile and water containing 0.1% formic acid. Detection is performed using UV absorbance or mass spectrometry. Calibration curves are prepared using known concentrations of the compound. Quality control samples are included in each analytical run.
Cell Assay
For in vitro cellular assays, 4-Hydroxyhippuric acid is not typically used as a pharmacologically active compound. It may be used in studies of polyphenol metabolism, where cells (e.g., intestinal epithelial cells) are treated with polyphenols, and the production of 4-hydroxyhippuric acid is measured by LC-MS/MS. The compound may also be used as a reference standard in biomarker studies. Cell viability is assessed using MTT or CellTiter-Glo assays. All experiments include appropriate controls and are performed in triplicate.
Animal Protocol
For in vivo studies, 4-Hydroxyhippuric acid is not administered to animals as a therapeutic agent. It is measured as a biomarker in serum or urine samples from animal models of metabolic diseases, uremia, or eosinophilic esophagitis. The compound's levels are correlated with disease progression or treatment response. Sample preparation and analysis are performed using HPLC or LC-MS/MS. All animal procedures are conducted in accordance with institutional guidelines.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
The pharmacokinetic properties of 4-Hydroxyhippuric acid are not relevant, as it is a metabolite rather than a therapeutic agent. The compound has a molecular weight of 195.17 and is a small, polar molecule. It is produced as a by-product of polyphenol metabolism and is excreted in urine. Its levels in biological fluids reflect the activity of the gut microbiota and polyphenol consumption. Comprehensive PK data are not available in publicly accessible literature.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The toxicology of 4-Hydroxyhippuric acid is not relevant, as it is a metabolite rather than a therapeutic agent. At physiological concentrations, it is considered non-toxic. The compound is associated with health conditions such as uremia and eosinophilic esophagitis, but these associations are related to disease states rather than direct toxicity of the compound itself. Standard laboratory safety precautions should be followed when handling the compound. It is for research use only and is not approved for human therapeutic use.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
