The class I human liver alcohol dehydrogenases (ADHs) catalyze the interconversion of the intermediary alcohols and aldehydes of dopamine metabolism in vitro, whereas those of the class II and class III do not. The individual, homogeneous class I isozymes oxidize

Queen mandibular pheromone (QMP) is produced by honey bee queens and used to regulate the behavior and physiology of their nestmates. QMP has recently been shown to block aversive learning in young worker bees, an effect that can be mimicked
The effects in rats of intraventricular injections of 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) on the urinary excretion 1-3 weeks later of 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenethylene glycol (MHPG), 3,4-dihydroxyphenethanol (DHPE), 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenethanol (MHPE), p-hydroxyphenylglycol (pHPG), homovanillic acid (HVA) and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) were examined. The excretion of MHPG

Natural products have long been regarded as excellent sources for drug discovery given their structure diversity and wide variety of biological activities. Phenylethanoid glycosides are naturally occurring compounds of plant origin and are structurally characterized with a hydroxyphenylethyl moiety to
