Identification
Common NameXanthurenic acid
ClassSmall Molecule
DescriptionXanthurenic acid, also known as xanthurenic acid, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as quinoline carboxylic acids. These are quinolines in which the quinoline ring system is substituted by a carboxyl group at one or more positions. Xanthurenic acid exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa) molecule. Xanthurenic acid exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. In cattle, xanthurenic acid is involved in the metabolic pathway called the tryptophan metabolism pathway.
