Chemical Information
Name3,4-Dihydroxymandelic acid
Description3,4-Dihydroxymandelic acid is is a minor metabolite of norepinephrine in humans (PMID 12649306). Patients with neuroblastoma experience elevated levels of 3,4-Dihydroxymandelic acid and other Catecholamines metabolites, and their presence in urine is a good indicator for diagnosis and follow-up (PMID 8193481) [HMDB]. 3,4-Dihydroxymandelic acid is found in many foods, some of which are anise, common wheat, dill, and sugar apple.
