2-Hydroxyphenylacetic Acid is an intermediate in the synthesis of atenolol and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid. 2-Hydroxyphenylacetic acid (2-HPAA) is present in the human body and various food sources as a phenolic acid. It plays a role as an intermediate in the metabolic pathways of phenylalanine, tyrosine, and other aromatic amino acids. Additionally, it contributes to the synthesis pathway of catecholamines, including adrenaline and noradrenaline, which are vital hormones. Moreover, 2-Hydroxyphenylacetic acid serves as a significant intermediate in the production of dopamine, serotonin, and melatonin. The function of 2-Hydroxyphenylacetic acid extends to inhibiting the enzymes tyrosine hydroxylase and phenylalanine hydroxylase. The former is responsible for the synthesis of catecholamines, while the latter plays a role in the metabolism of phenylalanine.
