The Three Catecholics Benserazide, Catechol and Pyrogallol are GPR35 Agonists [PDF]

open access: yesPharmaceuticals, 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 ...

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 ...
