Gene Information
human ... COMT(1312)
Application
3,5-Dinitrocatechol (3,5-DNC) has been used in the preparation of the molybdenum (VI)-(3,5-DNC) complex. It has also been used as a catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitor and as a positive control for screening human COMT inhibition.
Chelating reagent used in a sensitive (μM) assay for vanadium.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Selective inhibitor of catechol O-methyl transferase (COMT); penetrates the blood brain barrier and is useful both orally and parenteraly in experiments where inhibition of COMT in the central nervous system is required.
Analysis Note
Solutions may be stored for several days at 4 °C.

Sequential conversion of estradiol to catecholestradiols and methoxyestradiols by cytochrome-P(450) (CYP450) and catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT), respectively, contributes to the antimitogenic effects of estradiol on vascular smooth muscle cell (SMC) growth via estrogen receptor-independent mechanisms. Because catecholamines are also substrates for COMT

Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitors are used in Parkinson's disease in which pain is an important symptom. COMT polymorphisms modulate pain and opioid analgesia in humans. In rats, COMT inhibitors have been shown to be pro-nociceptive in acute pain models, but also

The equilibria of the chelate formation and ion-association in the liquid-liquid extraction system Mo(VI)‒3,5-DNC‒INT‒H2O‒CHCl3 were studied by spectrophotometry. The optimum conditions for the chelate formation and extraction of the ion-associated complex formed between the anionic chelate of Mo(VI)‒3,5-dinitrocatechol (3,5-DNC) and
