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

Different pharmacokinetic properties are known for the two enantiomers of the entactogen 3,4-methylendioxy-methamphetamine (MDMA), most likely due to enantioselective metabolism. The aim of the present work was 1) the investigation of the main sulfotransferases (SULT) isoenzymes involved in the sulfation

Cyclic voltammetric and chronoamperometric data are consistent with a process in which 3,4-dihydroxymandelic acid (DOMA) is oxidized initially in a two-electron step to its corresponding o-benzoquinone. This species is unstable and undergoes the rate-determining loss of CO2 (k = 1.6
