4-Formylphenyl cyclopropanecarboxylate
QUICK LINKS
4-Hydroxyphenylacetaldehyde (4-HPA) emerges as a key intermediate in the metabolic breakdown of the amino acid phenylalanine and the dopamine, underscoring its pivotal role in neurochemical and physiological processes. The compound is formed through the oxidative deamination of dopamine, facilitated by monoamine oxidase (MAO) enzymes, and its subsequent metabolic pathways are for the detoxification and elimination of excess neurotransmitters from the body. The compound′s reactivity and potential to form adducts with proteins and nucleic acids make it a focal point in studies investigating the molecular underpinnings of cellular damage. By understanding the dynamics of 4-HPA formation and clearance, researchers can gain insights into the delicate balance of neurotransmitter levels, the impact of oxidative stress on neural cells.
