ClassSmall Molecule
DescriptionVanylglycol (MHPG) is a O-methylated metabolite of normetanephrine. MHPG is formed by catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) from norepinephrine. Catecholamines play an important role in platelet activation and aggregation, epinephrine being the most potent one. Catecholamines are substantially increased during stress, exercise or smoking and could result in clinically important platelet activation if their action was not rapidly regulated. MHPG is found normally in urine, in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid. Alcohol consumption increases the level of HMPG in urine and CSF. Alcohol dehydrogenase has been shown to act on norepinephrine and produce HMPG. (PMID: 11958479, 9706478, 7735466, 2455302) [HMDB]. Vanylglycol is found in many foods, some of which are chervil, pummelo, peanut, and onion-family vegetables.
