2,5-Bis-(2-hydroxybenzoylamino)pentanoic acid, a salicylic acid-metabolite isolated from chicken: Characterization and independent synthesis
From excreta of chickens that had been treated with sodium salicylate, a new compound was detected and identified as a double conjugated ornithine metabolite. The structural assignment of this metabolite was further confirmed by an independent efficient 3-step synthesis from ornithine.
