Common Name3,4-Dihydroxymandelic acid
ClassSmall Molecule
Description3,4-3,4-3,4-dihydroxymandelic acid, also known as 3,4-dihydroxymandelic acid or 3,4-dihydroxymandelic acid, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as catechols. Catechols are compounds containing a 1,2-benzenediol moiety. 3,4-3,4-3,4-dihydroxymandelic acid is possibly soluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). 3,4-3,4-3,4-dihydroxymandelic acid exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. 3,4-3,4-3,4-dihydroxymandelic acid participates in a number of enzymatic reactions, within cattle. In particular, 3,4-3,4-3,4-dihydroxymandelic acid can be biosynthesized from 3,4-dihydroxymandelaldehyde; which is mediated by the enzyme aldehyde dehydrogenase, dimeric nadp-preferring. In addition, 3,4-3,4-3,4-dihydroxymandelic acid and guaiacol can be converted into vanillylmandelic acid and pyrocatechol through the action of the enzyme catechol O-methyltransferase. In cattle, 3,4-3,4-dihydroxymandelic acid is involved in the metabolic pathway called the tyrosine metabolism pathway.
