CAS 102-32-9: DOPAC
Description:DOPAC, or 3,4-Dihydroxyphenylacetic acid, is an aromatic organic compound characterized by its two hydroxyl groups attached to a phenyl ring and an acetic acid moiety. It is a metabolite of dopamine, playing a significant role in the biochemical pathways of catecholamine metabolism. DOPAC is typically found in biological systems, particularly in the brain, where it is involved in neurotransmitter regulation. The compound is a white to off-white crystalline solid, soluble in water and organic solvents, which facilitates its biological activity. DOPAC exhibits antioxidant properties and has been studied for its potential implications in neurodegenerative diseases and psychiatric disorders. Its chemical structure allows it to participate in various chemical reactions, making it a subject of interest in pharmacological and biochemical research. Safety data indicates that DOPAC should be handled with care, as with many organic compounds, to avoid potential health hazards.
