Description

white to cream or light tan crystalline powderChEBI: A monocarboxylic acid that is acetic acid in which one of the methyl hydrogens is substituted by a 4-hydroxyphenyl group.4-Hydroxyphenylacetic acid is an acetate derivative used in the acylation of phenols and amines1. It is an active component of Chinese herb Aster tataricus which had been widely used in China for the treatment of pulmonary diseases, HBV, and carcinoma. It is an active metabolite of amino acid metabolism. Study has also show


4-Hydroxyphenylacetic acid is a chemical compound found in olive oil and beer. In industry the chemical is an intermediate used to synthesize atenolol and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid.


Solid


4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid is a monocarboxylic acid that is acetic acid in which one of the methyl hydrogens is substituted by a 4-hydroxyphenyl group. It has a role as a plant metabolite, a fungal metabolite, a human metabolite and a mouse metabolite. It is a monocarboxylic acid and a member of phenols. It derives from an acetic acid. It is a conjugate acid of a 4-hydroxyphenylacetate.
