General description

3-(2,4-Dihydroxyphenyl)propionic acid is a 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) analog. It is a building block for heterocyclic compounds.

Application

3-(2,4-Dihydroxyphenyl)propionic acid (DHPPA) may be used as substrate for the o-diphenolase in microplate assays of serum and hemocyte supernatants from QXR3 and wild type oysters for the quantitation of o-diphenolase activity.

Quercetin is an abundant flavonoid in nature and is used in several dietary supplements. Although quercetin is extensively metabolized by human enzymes and the colonic microflora, we have only few data regarding the pharmacokinetic interactions of its metabolites. Therefore, we

Flavonoids are abundant polyphenols in nature. They are extensively biotransformed in enterocytes and hepatocytes, where conjugated (methyl, sulfate, and glucuronide) metabolites are formed. However, bacterial microflora in the human intestines also metabolize flavonoids, resulting in the production of smaller phenolic
