The effects of sodium nitrite (NaNO2) and catechol or 3-methoxycatechol in combination were examined in male F344 rats. Animals were treated with 0.3% NaNO2 in the drinking water and 0.8% catechol or 2% 3-methoxycatechol in powdered diet for 24 weeks.

Japanese journal of cancer research : Gann, 85(1), 17-25 (1994-01-01)
The effects of combined treatment with NaNO2 and phenolic compounds on N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) stomach carcinogenesis were investigated in F344 rats. In the first experiment, groups of 15-20 male rats were treated with an intragastric dose of 150 mg/kg body weight

A novel universal support for deoxyribo- and ribonucleic acid synthesis has been developed. The support, constructed from 1,4-dimethoxycatechol, represents an improvement over existing universal supports because of its ability to cleave and deprotect under mild conditions in standard reagents. Because

Effects of simultaneous treatment with NaNO2 and butylated hydroxyanisole, catechol, or 3-methoxycatechol were examined in a rat multiorgan carcinogenesis model. Groups of 15 animals were given a single i.p. injection of 100 mg/kg of body weight diethylnitrosamine, 4 i.p. injections

Nearly 1% of all clinically used drugs are catecholics, a family of catechol-containing compounds. Using label-free dynamic mass redistribution and Tango β-arrestin translocation assays, we show that several catecholics, including benserazide, catechol, 3-methoxycatechol, pyrogallol, (+)-taxifolin and fenoldopam, display agonistic activity
