I don't think there is such a thing as EURIC acid. I believe the word is a misspelling of one of two distinct substances: URIC acid = C5H4N4O3 - a final product of purine breakdown in the body. precursors found in nucleobases of nucleic acids (DNA & RNA). Highly toxic to cells. Excreted in the urine. High concentrations in the body can lead to Gout. ERUCIC (E-R-U-C-I-C) acid = C22H42O2 - very long chain fatty acid responsible for causing symptoms in the genetic disorder known as ADRENOLEUKODYSTROPHY (ALD). The fatty acid molecule has a 26 carbon base, is very difficult to synthesis , and can be found naturally in rapeseed oil. See Movie "Lorenzo's Oil"...it was very good nn. What would we do without Google and Wikipedia?!!!!!!!!
