Sodium Phenylacetate is the sodium salt form of phenylacetate with ammonia detoxifying activity. Upon administration, sodium phenylacetate binds to glutamine thereby forming phenylacetylglutamine and is thus excreted by the kidneys. By serving as an alternative to urea for the excretion of waste nitrogen, sodium phenylacetate is able to lower ammonia levels in the blood and prevent hyperammonemia. The directory classifies it as a commercial API with a synthetic source/manufacturing origin. Other names for this substance include Phenylacetic acid sodium salt and Sodium benzeneacetate. It is also listed for alternate use as: API Intermediate. Its PubChem CID is 23690424.
