Chemical Information
NameL-Histidinol
DescriptionL-Histidinol, also known as HSO or histidol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as aralkylamines. These are alkylamines in which the alkyl group is substituted at one carbon atom by an aromatic hydrocarbyl group. L-Histidinol is a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). L-Histidinol exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Outside of the human body, L-Histidinol has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as salmonberries, spinachs, yautia, nopals, and corn salad. This could make L-histidinol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. An amino alcohol that is propanol substituted by 1H-imidazol-4-yl group at position 3 and an amino group at position 2 (the 2S stereoisomer).
