o-Hydroxymandelic acid and m-hydroxymandelic acid have been identified in human urine by gas chromatography mass spectrometry selected ion monitoring. After solvent extraction the urinary acids were converted to their O-trifluoroacetoxy methyl ester derivatives which were identified by comparison of the retention times and relative intensities of the characteristic m/z 374 and m/z 315 ions with those from authentic samples. 4,6-[2H3]-o-hydroxymandelic acid and 2,4,6-[2H3]-m-hydroxymandelic acid were synthesized for use as internal standards in the quantitative estimation of the isomeric hydroxymandelic acids excreted in urine. In ten normal adults the following results were obtained: o-hydroxymandelic acid 4--16 ng mg-1 creatinine and m-hydroxymandelic acid 11--71 ng mg-1 creatinine. Acid hydrolysis of the urine or ingestion of a diet of known composition did not affect these results, indicating that these compounds are excreted as the free acids and probably arise by metabolism of the corresponding phenylethanolamine(s).

One novel indigenous halotolerant, sp, with high potential for bisphenol A (BPA) biodegradation was isolated from an outlet of petrochemical wastewater in Iran. The optimal temperature and pH for degradation of BPA by this strain were 30 °C and 7, respectively. This strain was able to decrease COD (chemical oxygen demand) of basal salt medium containing 300 mg L BPA as sole carbon source and 40 g L NaCl from 655.

Separation of hydroxy acid enantiomers was achieved by using capillary electrochromatography (CEC) employing a chiral stationary phase (CSP) based on MDL 63,246 (Hepta-Tyr), a macrocyclic antibiotic of the teicoplanin family. The chiral selector was chemically bonded to 5 num diol-modified silica particles and the CSP mixed with amino silica (3:1 w/w) was packed into a 75 num ID fused-silica capillary. The CEC experiments were carried out by using an aqueous reversed-phase mode for the enantiomeric resolution of hydroxy acid compounds.

The method for the quantitation involved extraction of acidified plasma (subject to hydrolysis with beta-glucuronidase for 120 min with 500 units of enzyme/0.25 ml of plasma at 37 degrees C for the conjugates) with an organic phase (methyl-tert-butyl ether).

The concentrations of o-hydroxymandelic acid and p-hydroxymandelic were not significantly different for both groups whereas the concentrations of m-hydroxymandelic acid, homovanillic acid and vanillylmandelic acid were elevated 20- to 30-fold in the neuroblastoma patients.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFSeveral urinary meta-substituted phenols appear to be of endogenous origin. However, the production of these compounds is reduced in phenylketonuria with the exception of m-hydroxymandelic acid whose excretion is approximately doubled. This phenomenon has been investigated in two patients with phenylketonuria using the putative precursor L-m-tyrosine labelled with deuterium.
