Gene Information
human ... COMT(1312)
Application
3,5-Dinitrocatechol (3,5-DNC) has been used in the preparation of the molybdenum (VI)-(3,5-DNC) complex. It has also been used as a catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitor and as a positive control for screening human COMT inhibition.
Chelating reagent used in a sensitive (μM) assay for vanadium.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Selective inhibitor of catechol O-methyl transferase (COMT); penetrates the blood brain barrier and is useful both orally and parenteraly in experiments where inhibition of COMT in the central nervous system is required.
