Metabolite Identification
Common NameAllantoic acid
DescriptionAllantoic acid, also known as diureidoacetate or allantoate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as n-carbamoyl-alpha amino acids. N-carbamoyl-alpha amino acids are compounds containing an alpha amino acid which bears an carbamoyl group at its terminal nitrogen atom. Allantoic acid exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to plants to humans. Allantoic acid has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as peaches (Prunus persica), sea-buckthornberries (Hippophae rhamnoides), garden tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum), asparagus (Asparagus officinalis), and oats (Avena sativa). This could make allantoic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Allantoic acid is a primary metabolite. Primary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically essential metabolites. They are directly involved in an organism’s growth, development or reproduction. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Allantoic acid.
