Pyrocatechol, also known as 1,2-dihydroxybenzene is an organic compound. This white, crystalline solid demonstrates solubility in water, alcohol, and ether. In scientific research, pyrocatechol serves as a fundamental component in a multitude of applications. In vitro, pyrocatechol plays a role in investigating the mechanisms of action of enzymes and other proteins. Notably, pyrocatechol functions as a competitive inhibitor of the enzyme catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT). This enzyme is responsible for metabolizing catecholamines such as dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine..
