Oxidation of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetaldehyde, a toxic dopaminergic metabolite, to a semiquinone radical and an ortho-quinone.
The oxidation and toxicity of dopamine is believed to contribute to the selective neurodegeneration associated with Parkinson disease. The formation of reactive radicals and quinones greatly contributes to dopaminergic toxicity through a variety of mechanisms. The physiological metabolism of dopamine to 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetaldehyde (DOPAL) via monoamine oxidase significantly increases its to...
متن کاملOxidation and reactivity of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetaldehyde, a reactive intermediate of dopamine metabolism
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative and movement disorder that involves specific loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra of the brain. Exact causes of PD are unknown. However, cells affected in PD are centers of dopamine (DA) synthesis, storage, and metabolism, which implicate DA as an endogenous neurotoxin that contributes to PD. Furthermore, DA is known to...

During the development of a new regiospecific synthetic methodology for 1,5 dihydroxy- 9,lO-anthraquinone, it was observed that (anthrufin) preparative TLC of 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-octahydro-9,lO-dihyd roxy- 1,5-anthracenedione on silica gel produced a well-defined 1:l complex of the dione and an aerial oxidation product of it, the quinone dimethide 1,2,3,4,5,6,7- hexahydro-9,lO-dihydroxy-1 ,5-...
متن کاملBioactivation of 4-methylphenol (p-cresol) via cytochrome P450-mediated aromatic oxidation in human liver microsomes.
It has previously been proposed that 4-methylphenol (p-cresol) is metabolically activated by oxidation of the methyl group to form a reactive quinone methide. In the present study a new metabolism pathway is elucidated in human liver microsomes. Oxidation of the aromatic ring leads to formation of 4-methyl-ortho-hydroquinone, which is further oxidized to a reactive intermediate, 4-methyl-ortho-...
متن کاملThe Metabolic Fate of ortho-Quinones Derived from Catecholamine Metabolites.
ortho-Quinones are produced in vivo through the oxidation of catecholic substrates by enzymes such as tyrosinase or by transition metal ions. Neuromelanin, a dark pigment present in the substantia nigra and locus coeruleus of the brain, is produced from dopamine (DA) and norepinephrine (NE) via an interaction with cysteine, but it also incorporates their alcoholic and acidic metabolites. In thi...
