m-Hydroxyhippuric acid, also known as m-hydroxybenzoylglycine or m-hydroxyhippate, is a type of hippuric acid compound called a hippuric acid. Hippuric acids consist of hippuric acid, which is composed of a glycine attached to a benzoyl group at its N-terminal. m-Hydroxyhippuric acid is found in a solid form, with slight solubility in water, and it exhibits weak acidity based on its pKa value. This acid has been identified in various biofluids, including urine and blood. In the cell, m-hydroxyhippuric acid is primarily located in the cytoplasm. Its biosynthesis occurs from N-benzoylglycine. M-hydroxyhippuric acid, an N-acylglycine, is a metabolite that substitutes the 3rd position on the phenyl ring of hippuric acid (N-benzoylglycine) with a hydroxy group. It functions as both an N-acylglycine and a phenol member. Its origin can be traced back to N-benzoylglycine. It represents the conjugate acid form of m-hydroxyhippurate.
