Intermediate in the Formation of Catechol
نویسنده
چکیده
3, 5-Cyclohexadiene1, 2-diol1-carboxylic acid (1, 2-dihydro1, 2-dihydroxybenzoic acid) is converted enzymatically to catechol in cell extracts from Acinetobacter, Alcaligenes, Azotobacter, and three Pseudomonas species. This enzymatic activity is present only in cultures which have been grown in the presence of benzoic acid, and which convert benzoic acid to catechol rather than to protocatechuic acid. The reaction is assayed by the concomitant formation of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide from nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. The conversion of ["4C]benzoic acid to [14C]dihydrodihydroxybenzoic acid is demonstrated in cell extracts. A scheme for the conversion of benzoic acid to catechol in bacteria is presented, involving the formation of dihydrodihydroxybenzoic acid from benzoic acid by a dioxygenase which is unstable in cell extracts, followed by the dehydrogenation and decarboxylation of dihydrodihydroxybenzoic acid to catechol by a previously undescribed enzyme. Experiments with anthranilic acid and phthalic acid suggest that dihydrodihydroxybenzoic acid is a metabolite unique to benzoic acid metabolism. Two new methods for assaying benzoic acid dioxygenase are suggested.

Background and Objectives: Water and wastewater resources contamination, caused by the wastewater discharged from industries, is considered a major threat to human and environment health. Catechol is one of the usual phenolic compounds in wastewater of various industries such as oil and petrochemicals, plastics, resins, and etc, which is highly toxic and resistant to degradation. Therefore, the...

متن کاملCytochrome P-450 3A and 2D6 catalyze ortho hydroxylation of 4-hydroxytamoxifen and 3-hydroxytamoxifen (droloxifene) yielding tamoxifen catechol: involvement of catechols in covalent binding to hepatic proteins.
Earlier study suggested that 3,4-dihydroxytamoxifen (tam catechol), a tamoxifen metabolite, is proximate to the reactive intermediate that binds covalently to proteins and possibly to DNA (). The current study demonstrates that rat and human hepatic cytochrome P-450s (CYPs) catalyze tam catechol formation from tamoxifen (tam), 3-hydroxy-tam (Droloxifene), and 4-hydroxy-tam (4-OH-tam). Higher le...
متن کاملEnzymatic Formation of Catechol from Anthranilic Acid.
Anthranilic acid is known to be formed from kynurenine in animals and microorganisms (3-6) and to be degraded by cell-free extracts of a Pseudomonas species adapted to L-tryptophan (7). Catechol has been postulated as an intermediate in the catabolism of anthranilic acid on the basis of experiments utilizing sequential enzyme induction (8). Several groups of investigators have recently succeede...
