Description

Pyrocatechuic acid is a normal human benzoic acid metabolite found in plasma, and has increased levels after aspirin ingestion.


Solid


2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid is a dihydroxybenzoic acid that is benzoic acid substituted by hydroxy groups at positions 2 and 3. It occurs naturally in Phyllanthus acidus and in the aquatic fern Salvinia molesta. It has a role as a human xenobiotic metabolite and a plant metabolite. It derives from a benzoic acid. It is a conjugate acid of a 2,3-dihydroxybenzoate.

Drug Information

Organic chemicals that form two or more coordination links with an iron ion. Once coordination has occurred, the complex formed is called a chelate. The iron-binding porphyrin group of hemoglobin is an example of a metal chelate found in biological systems. (See all compounds classified as Iron Chelating Agents.)
