Disease relevance of CATECHIN

 

High impact information on CATECHIN

  • Catechol (CAS: 120-80-9), given in drinking water to rats, was the most effective of 5 phenols in enhancing [3H]thymidine incorporation [( 3H]dThd-l) into esophageal DNA [6].
  • Coadministration of 1,2-dihydroxybenzene (catechol) with (+)-[3H]BaP-7,8-diol decreased the formation of (-)-anti-[3H]BPDE and also decreased lipid peroxidation, as measured by the extent of formation of thiobarbituric acid-reactive material in mouse epidermis [7].
  • Here we describe a sensitive radiochemical assay for dihydrodiol dehydrogenase in which the oxidation of benzenedihydrodiol to pyrocatechol is coupled to O-methylation catalyzed by catechol-O-methyltransferase (EC 2.1.1.6) [8].
  • (+/-)-[3H]Epinephrine binds to beta-receptors in calf cerebellar and rat lung membranes in the presence of 1.0 mM pyrocatechol and 1.0 microM phentolamine, with dissociation constants at 4 degrees C of 11 nM and 24 nM, respectively [9].
  • Red clover (Trifolium pratense) leaves contain high levels of polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity and o-diphenol substrates [10].
 

Biological context of CATECHIN

 

Anatomical context of CATECHIN

  • In addition to causing an increase in the pepsinogen-isozyme-1-altered pyloric glands (PAPG), which are considered to be putative preneoplastic precursor lesions in the rat glandular stomach, CC treatment was associated with submucosal growth of pyloric mucosal cells tending to decreased pepsinogen isoenzyme 1 binding [2].
  • Rat hepatocytes released benzene-1,2-dihydrodiol, hydroquinone (HQ), catechol (CT), phenol (PH), trans-trans-muconic acid, and a number of phase II metabolites such as PH sulfate and PH glucuronide [15].
  • Flavin-containing monooxygenase-1 (FMO1) purified to homogeneity from pig liver microsomes catalyzes NADPH- and oxygen-dependent oxidation of salicylaldehyde to pyrocatechol and formate [16].
  • Administration of CA or HR to the arthritic animals was found to have a prophylactic action by stabilizing liver lysosomes and reducing the free lysosomal enzyme activities in serum, liver, kidney and spleen [17].
  • The effects of pyrocatechol and its monosubstituents on the hemolysis of bovine erythrocytes induced by the hydrophilic free radical initiator, 2,2'-azobis(2-amidinopropane)dihydrochloride (AAPH), were investigated [18].
 

Associations of CATECHIN with other chemical compounds

 

Gene context of CATECHIN

  • These results contrast with the almost complete inhibition of autoxidation (NADH oxidation) of ortho-hydroquinone during reduction of aminochrome catalyzed by DT-diaphorase in the presence of both superoxide dismutase and catalase [23].
  • Thus, this enzyme shows tyrosine hydroxylase activity and it catalyzes the oxidation of a wide variety of o-diphenol as well as o-methoxy-activated phenols [24].
  • In addition, primers and probes detecting aromatic dioxygenase genes were derived from P. putida ATCC 17484 (ndoB), P. putida F1 (todC1), P. putida ATCC 33015 (xylE and cat23), and P. pseudoalcaligenes KF707 (bphA) [25].
  • The method is based on the COMT-mediated O-methylation of 4-(naphtho [1,2-d] thiazol-2-yl) pyrocatechol, the product of which was determined fluorometrically [26].
  • At pH 7.4, where the oxidative polymerization of catechols proceeds spontaneously, pyrocatechol produced no effect on the toxin binding function of AcChR, whereas comparable concentrations of TMC led to inactivation of half of all available sites [27].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of CATECHIN

  • All PAH degraders were examined for the presence of an initial PAH dioxygenase and C230, which catalyse key steps of PAH degradation, by PCR amplification of gene fragments and subsequent hybridization [28].
  • At pH 5.5 and -0.1 V, the calibration graphs of GE based biosensors were hyperbolic if pyrocatechol was used [29].
  • The serum concentration and urinary excretion of these metabolites were also compared after the oral administration of different GSP monomers (gallic acid, CT, and EC), normal GSP, and the high molecular weight components of GSP (GSPH) [30].
  • The sequence analysis of two purified dioxygenases (CatA and PcaGH) indicated that CatA is closely associated with the CatA of Acinetobacter radiresistance, but PcaGH is only moderately associated with the PcaGH of Acinetobacter sp. ADP1 [31].
