Highly oxidation-resistant imidazolium-modified catechol for stable wet adhesion under alkaline conditions [PDF]
RSC Applied InterfacesPremature oxidation of catechol drastically reduces its adhesion strength and utility. This study chemically linked catechol to an imidazolium group, which functioned as an intrinsic protecting group that retarded catechol oxidation and enabled stable ...

Catechol-Based Antimicrobial Polymers
Molecules, 2021 Catechol is a key constituent in mussel adhesive proteins and is responsible for strong adhesive property and crosslinking formation. Plant-based polyphenols are also capable of chemical interactions similar to those of catechol and are inherently ...

Antiplatelet effect of catechol is related to inhibition of cyclooxygenase, reactive oxygen species, ERK/p38 signaling and thromboxane A2 production. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Catechol (benzenediol) is present in plant-derived products, such as vegetables, fruits, coffee, tea, wine, areca nut and cigarette smoke. Because platelet dysfunction is a risk factor of cardiovascular diseases, including stroke, atherosclerosis and ...

Purification and Characterization of Polyphenol Oxidase in the Fruits of Opuntia ficus-indica
Biology, 2023 Firstly, polyphenol oxidase (PPO) was purified from the fruits of Opuntia ficus-indica using Sepharose 4B–L-tyrosine–p-aminobenzoic acid affinity chromatography, and the enzyme was characterized. The PPO was purified 20.59-fold.

The Three Catecholics Benserazide, Catechol and Pyrogallol are GPR35 Agonists [PDF]
Pharmaceuticals, 2013 Nearly 1% of all clinically used drugs are catecholics, a family of catechol-containing compounds. Using label-free dynamic mass redistribution and Tango β-arrestin translocation assays, we show that several catecholics, including benserazide, catechol, 3-methoxycatechol, pyrogallol, (+)-taxifolin and fenoldopam, display agonistic activity against ...
