Metabolite Identification
Common Namen-benzoyl-d-alanine
Descriptionn-benzoyl-d-alanine, also known as a-methylhippate or methylhippuric acid, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as n-acyl-alpha amino acids. N-acyl-alpha amino acids are compounds containing an alpha amino acid which bears an acyl group at its terminal nitrogen atom. n-benzoyl-d-alanine is a secondary metabolite. Secondary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically non-essential metabolites that may serve a role as defense or signalling molecules. In some cases they are simply molecules that arise from the incomplete metabolism of other secondary metabolites. Based on a literature review a small amount of articles have been published on n-benzoyl-d-alanine. This compound has been identified in human blood as reported by (PMID: 31557052 ). N-benzoyl-d-alanine is not a naturally occurring metabolite and is only found in those individuals exposed to this compound or its derivatives. Technically n-benzoyl-d-alanine is part of the human exposome. The exposome can be defined as the collection of all the exposures of an individual in a lifetime and how those exposures relate to health. An individual's exposure begins before birth and includes insults from environmental and occupational sources.
