Common NameHydroxyphenyllactic acid
ClassSmall Molecule
DescriptionHydroxyphenyllactic acid or 4-hydroxyphenyllactate (the L-form) is a tyrosine metabolite. The level of L-hydroxyphenyllactic acid is elevated in patients with a deficiency of the enzyme p-hydroxyphenylpyruvate oxidase (EC 1.14.2.2). L-hydroxyphenyllactate is present in relatively higher concentrations in the cerebrospinal fluid and urine of patients with phenylketonuria (PKU) and tyrosinemia. However the D-form of hydroxyphneyllactate is of bacterial origin and is also found in individuals with bacterial overgrowth or unusual gut microflora Microbial hydroxyphenyllactate is likely derived from phenolic or polyphenolic compounds in the diet. Bifidobacteria and lactobacilli produced considerable amounts of phenyllactic and p-hydroxyphenyllactic acids It has also been shown that hydroxyphenyllactate decreases ROS (reactive oxygen species) production in both mitochondria and neutrophils and so hydroxyphenyllactate may function as a natural anti-oxidant (2, 3, 3, 4, 4).
