General Description

3,4-Dimethylhippuric acid is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C11H13NO3. It is a derivative of hippuric acid, which is formed in the liver through the conjugation of benzoic acid and glycine. 3,4-Dimethylhippuric acid is present in small amounts in human urine and is used as a biomarker for exposure to the industrial solvent xylene. It is excreted in the urine after metabolic processes and is associated with the detoxification and elimination of xylene from the body. The presence of 3,4-dimethylhippuric acid in urine can indicate recent or chronic exposure to xylene, making it a useful tool for assessing occupational and environmental exposure to this chemical.
