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

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

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

Pseudomonas putida F6 was found to metabolize p-hydroxyphenylacetic acid through 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid, 3,4-dihydroxymandelic acid, and 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde. Cell extracts of P. putida F6 catalyze the NAD(P)H-independent hydroxylation of p-hydroxyphenylacetic acid to 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid which is further oxidized to 3,4-dihydroxymandelic acid.
