3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA, Ecstasy) is excreted in human urine mainly as conjugates of its metabolites 3,4-dihydroxymethamphetamine (DHMA) and 4-hydroxy-3-methoxymethamphetamine (HMMA). The glucuronidation kinetics of HMMA showed high capacities, but also high K(m) values, unlikely to be reached after recreational user's doses.

A continuous spectrophotometric method for the rapid determination of diphenolase activity of tyrosinase is described. It uses 3,4-dihydroxymandelic acid (DOMA) as the substrate of tyrosinase and measures the final product, 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde (DOBA). The spectrum of this product shows a bathochromic

Mushroom tyrosinase, which is known to convert a variety of o-diphenols into o-benzoquinones, has been shown to catalyse an unusual oxidative decarboxylation of 3,4-dihydroxymandelic acid to 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde [Sugumaran (1986) Biochemistry 25, 4489-4492]. The mechanism of this reaction was re-investigated. Although
