Effects of Aromatic Aldehydes on O-Methylation of Dopamine and Norepinephrine in in Vitro

An increase in extracted radioactivity was found when the aromatic aldehydes 2-nitrobenzaldehyde or pyridine-4-carbox-aldehyde were incubated with catechol-O-methyltransferase in the presence of 14C-methyl-S-adenosylmethionine and dopamine or norepinephrine. The condensation products of dopamine wit...

Zusammenfassung:An increase in extracted radioactivity was found when the aromatic aldehydes 2-nitrobenzaldehyde or pyridine-4-carbox-aldehyde were incubated with catechol-O-methyltransferase in the presence of 14C-methyl-S-adenosylmethionine and dopamine or norepinephrine. The condensation products of dopamine with the two aldehydes were synthesized. The Schiff bases and tetrahydroisoquinoline derivatives were better substrates for catechol-O-methyltransferase than was dopamine or norepinephrine in terms of either Km or Vmax.
