THE QUANTITATIVE DETERMINATION OF HIPPURIC ACID

Colorimetric determination of hippuric acid in urine and liver homogenate.

To a dried extract Containing hippuric acid (HA), 1.0 mL of acetic anhydride and 2.0 mL of 0.5% p-dlmethyiamlnobenzaldehyde (DAB) solution In pyridine were added, and the solution was kept at 40 O C for 1 h after thorough mlxing. The absorbance was then determlned at 458 nm agalnst a blank containing acetic anhydride, DAB, and pyridine. This method was in good agreement with Beer’s law within 1...

Direct colorimetric determination of hippuric acid in urine.

In 1963 Umberger and Fiorese (1) introduced a colorimetric method for HA,1 based on the color reaction of HA, dissolved in anhydrous pyridine, with BSC. Therefore, for applying their method to determine HA in urine, HA must first be extracted from the urine. We found that HA dissolved in water-pyridine (1:1, by vol) produces a red-orange color when BSC is added at room temperature. The absorpti...

Quantitative determination of hippuric and m-methylhippuric acids in urine by high-speed liquid chromatography.

High-speed liquid chromatography employing an ultraviolet photometric detector has been applied to the simultaneous determination of hippuric and m-methylhippuric acids in urine. Reversed-phase partition chromatography is carried out on a muBondapak C18 column with methanol-water as the eluent system. This method obviates the necessity for isolation or reaction of these acids before assay. The ...

Colorimetric method for hippuric acid.

FTIPPURIC ACID 1S an important metabolic product normally present in urine in amounts determined by tile ingestion of benzyl-containing foods and medicinals (ii). Because this compound is comparatively inert chemically, identification requires isolation and the determination of physical constants after extensive purification. There has long been need for a reliable and sensitive color reaction ...

A modified method for the determination of hippuric acid and free benzoic acid in the urine of cattle.
