Catechol-Based Hydrogel for Chemical Information Processing

open access: yesBiomimetics, 2017
Catechols offer diverse properties and are used in biology to perform various functions that range from adhesion (e.g., mussel proteins) to neurotransmission (e.g., dopamine), and mimicking the capabilities of biological catechols have yielded important ...

Catechol-Based Antimicrobial Polymers [PDF]

open access: yesMolecules, 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 antimicrobial.

Catechols: a new class of carbonic anhydrase inhibitors.

open access: yesChemical Communications, 2020
To date, catechols have been only poorly investigated as carbonic anhydrase (CA) inhibitors. Here we report the first structural information on the CA inhibition mechanism of these molecules, showing that they adopt a peculiar binding mode to the enzyme ...

A process optimization for bio-catalytic production of substituted catechols (3-nitrocatechol and 3-methylcatechol

open access: yesBMC Biotechnology, 2010
Background Substituted catechols are important precursors for large-scale synthesis of pharmaceuticals and other industrial products. Most of the reported chemical synthesis methods are expensive and insufficient at industrial level.

In vitro evaluation of the effect of C-4 substitution on methylation of 7,8-dihydroxycoumarin: metabolic profile and catalytic kinetics [PDF]

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2018
Daphnetin (7,8-dihydroxycoumarin (7,8-DHC)) and its C-4 derivatives have multiple pharmacological activities, but the poor metabolic stability of these catechols has severely restricted their application in the clinic.

A redox-neutral catechol synthesis

open access: yesNature Communications, 2017
Catechols are common structural motifs in bioactive molecules and synthetic building blocks. Here the authors report a method to convert phenol derivatives into catechols via an iridium-catalysed redox-neutral C–H hydroxylation, giving diversely ...
