General description

Metabolite of norepinephrine.

Application

DL-3,4-Dihydroxymandelic acid was used in the simultaneous analysis of 4-hydroxy-3-methoxymandelic acid and 4-hydroxy- 3-methoxyphenylacetic acid in urine. It was also used to study the changes in body temperature.

After norepinephrine (NE) is deaminated by monoamine oxidase (MAO), the aldehyde formed is either metabolized to 3,4-dihydroxy-mandelic acid (DHMA) by aldehyde dehydrogenase or is converted to 3,4-dihydroxyphenylglycol (DHPG) by aldehyde or aldose reductase. The present study examined the effects of

A quantitative assay for the diphenol oxidase activity of tyrosinase (EC 1.14.18.1) using high-pressure liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection is described. The assay is based on the observation (M. Sugumaran, 1986, Biochemistry 25, 4489-4492) that tyrosinase catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation

We describe a rapid, reliable "high-performance" liquid-chromatographic method of simultaneously analyzing for 4-hydroxy-3-methoxymandelic acid (I) and 4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenylacetic acid (II) in urine. Paired-ion chromatography and amperometric detection are used in the method. A 5-mL aliquot of urine is adjusted to pH

Tyrosinase usually catalyses the conversion of monophenols into o-diphenols and the oxidation of diphenols to the corresponding o-quinones. Sugumaran [(1986) Biochemistry 25, 4489-4492] has previously proposed an unusual oxidative decarboxylation of 3,4-dihydroxymandelate catalysed by tyrosinase. Our determination of the intermediates

The decarboxylated noradrenaline metabolite 3,4-dihydroxymandelic acid [DHMA, 2-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-2-hydroxyacetic acid] occurs in different mammalian tissues, especially in the heart. To elucidate the physiological function of DHMA, the antioxidative and radical scavenging activity was determined by physicochemical and cell-based test systems. In
