Hippuric Acid
An acid found in urine, formed in the liver and kidneys by joining benzoic acid to glycine: it is how the body disposes of phenolic compounds from fruit, tea and wine. Justus von Liebig distinguished it from benzoic acid in 1829. This family brings together the active ingredient and other impurities.
Did you know?Its name comes from the Greek hippos, horse, because it was studied in horse urine. In 1841 Alexander Ure showed, partly on himself, that swallowed benzoic acid leaves the body as hippuric acid: one of the first known metabolic changes.
