Metabolite Identification
Common NameSumiki's acid
DescriptionSumiki's acid is a naturally occurring human metabolite (PMID:949837 ). Sumiki's acid was first identified in the urine of a leukemic patient who was excreting an abnormal amount of its glycine derivative (PMID:5043270 ). Sumiki's acid was found to be excreted by normal subjects after a phenylalanine loading, while heterozygotes for phenylketonuria don't excrete it (instead, they excrete 2-hydroxybenzeneacetic acid) (PMID:4708049 ). Patients receiving furan-containing sugar solutions i.v. convert 50% of the 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furfural into Sumiki's acid (PMID:4202014 ). Sumiki's acid has been found to be a byproduct of the fungus Aspergillus and probably other species of fungi and yeast as well.
