Disease relevance of resorcinol

  • Histological examination after sacrifice at wk 52 revealed that the incidences of tongue papillomas and esophageal squamous cell carcinomas in the groups given MNAN followed by catechol (57.1% and 64.3%) or resorcinol (50% and 58.8%) were significantly higher than those in the carcinogen only controls (9.1, and 0%, respectively) [1].
  • The lower toxicity of monophenols and resorcinol as compared with that of di- and tri-phenols is due, in our opinion, to the fact that they are less oxidized under the conditions existing in the culture medium, and therefore do not produce sufficient levels of oxygen radicals [2].
  • Suppression of cyclooxygenase-2 promoter-dependent transcriptional activity in colon cancer cells by chemopreventive agents with a resorcin-type structure [3].
  • Metabolism of resorcinylic compounds by bacteria: alternative pathways for resorcinol catabolism in Pseudomonas putida [4].
  • Azoarcus anaerobius sp. nov., a resorcinol-degrading, strictly anaerobic, denitrifying bacterium [5].

High impact information on resorcinol

  • Structurally dissimilar catechols (1,2-diphenols) and hydroquinones (1,4-diphenols) induce quinone reductase in these systems, but resorcinol (1,3-diphenol) and its substituted analogues are inactive [7].
  • Tunicamycin blocks incorporation of glucosamine label into practically all ganglioside species except for a resorcinol-positive, sialidase-sensitive band tentatively identified as GQ1b tetrasialoganglioside (Svennerholm ganglioside nomenclature) [8].
  • Selectivity for the beta 2-adrenoceptor was improved with tertiary branching at the gamma-carbon and further increased by aromatic substitution with resorcinol or saligenin [9].
  • Thin-layer chromatography of the isolated ganglioside fraction from T-cell lymphoblasts revealed two major resorcinol-positive bands [10].
  • Furthermore, using EPO-deficient mice and an EPO inhibitor resorcinol we demonstrate that eosinophil-derived peroxidase is critical in the development of GI dysfunction in experimental UC [11].

Gene context of resorcinol

  • The enzymatic oxidation of resorcinol by lactoperoxidase was linked to inactivation since the same products were observed spectrally, albeit at a much lower level, as were observed with horseradish peroxidase [21].
  • The results are consistent with thyroid peroxidase- and lactoperoxidase-catalyzed oxidation of resorcinol derivatives to reactive radical species that covalently bind to amino acid residues unique to these two enzymes [21].
  • Concentrations of total serum N-acetyl-neuraminic acid (NANA) by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and lipid-bound sialic acid (LSA) by resorcinol procedure were evaluated and compared to carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) as markers for colorectal carcinoma [28].
  • Fourteen novel CB2 receptor selective cannabinoids were synthesized via initial Lewis acid catalyzed rearrangement of resorcinol precursors to obtain the cannabinoid moiety [29].
  • The evidence for this mechanism includes irreversible, hydrogen peroxide-dependent loss of enzymatic activity by kinetics consistent with a suicide mechanism, concomitant with changes in the visible spectrum of the prosthetic heme group and covalent binding of resorcinol (ca. 10 mol/mol of lactoperoxidase inactivated) [21].
