    HPLC analysis of the urine of autistic subjects indicated the presence of an unidentified component in greatly increased concentrations. We have reported the isolation of this component by HPLC and its identification. Mass spectrometry, NMR and UV spectroscopy identified the peak as corresponding to indolyl-3-acryloylglycine (IAG, 3), and this has been confirmed by an independent synthesis.
