High-purity Hippuric Acid (CAS 495-69-2) is widely used in the United States as a biomarker, analytical reagent, and synthetic intermediate. Hippuric acid, also referred to as hippurate or Hippursäure, is a naturally occurring benzoylated amino acid found in mammalian urine and is commonly supplied by specialty chemical providers for research and analytical applications. It serves as a key conjugation metabolite of benzoic acid and is employed as a biomarker for toluene exposure and dietary phenolic metabolism. This analytical-grade chemical is primarily used in biochemical assays, metabolism and toxicology studies, and controlled organic synthesis. Hippuric Acid is a water-soluble, stable crystalline material, making it well-suited for laboratory, research, and clinical applications. Scimplify supplies Hippuric Acid for the U.S. market with consistent quality, defined specifications, and dependable supply continuity, supporting laboratories, research institutions, and specialty chemical users across the United States with reliable lead times.
