Metabolite Identification
Common Name4-Aminohippuric acid
Description4-Aminohippuric acid, also known as para-aminohippate or PAH, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as hippuric acids. Hippuric acids are compounds containing hippuric acid, which consists of a of a benzoyl group linked to the N-terminal of a glycine. 4-Aminohippuric acid is a drug which is used to measure effective renal plasma flow (erpf) and to determine the functional capacity of the tubular excretory mechanism. 4-Aminohippuric acid is a strong basic compound (based on its pKa).
