Beschreibung

3-(3-Methylphenoxy)propanoic acid (3MPPA) is a phenol with a 3-methyl group substituted for the hydroxyl group. It is a crystalline solid that melts at 96°C and decomposes when heated to 130°C. 3MPPA is a substrate for the enzyme catechol O-methyltransferase, which converts it to 3-O-methyldopa. This reaction occurs in both viable and nonviable cells. The kinetics of this reaction has been studied in detail and it has been shown that 3MPPA preferentially reacts with the active site of catechol O-methyltransferase.
