Metabolite Identification
Common Name3,4-Dihydroxymandelaldehyde
Description3,4-Dihydroxymandelaldehyde, also known as DHMAL or DHPGALD, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as phenylacetaldehydes. Phenylacetaldehydes are compounds containing a phenylacetaldehyde moiety, which consists of a phenyl group substituted at the second position by an acetalydehyde. Aldehyde dehydrogenases are a group of NAD(P)+ -dependent enzymes that catalyze the oxidation of aldehydes, such as those derived from catecholamines, to their corresponding carboxylic acids. There is an increasing body of evidence suggesting that these compounds are neurotoxic, and it has been recently hypothesized that neurodegenerative disorders may be associated with increased levels of this biogenic aldehyde. It is possible to speculate that reduced detoxification of 3,4- dihydroxymandelaldehyde from impaired or deficient aldehyde dehydrogenase function may be a contributing factor in the suggested neurotoxicity of these compounds. 3,4-Dihydroxymandelaldehyde is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). 3,4-Dihydroxymandelaldehyde exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. Within humans, 3,4-dihydroxymandelaldehyde participates in a number of enzymatic reactions. In particular, 3,4-dihydroxymandelaldehyde can be biosynthesized from norepinephrine through the action of the enzyme amine oxidase [flavin-containing] a. In addition, 3,4-dihydroxymandelaldehyde and methylamine can be biosynthesized from epinephrine through its interaction with the enzyme amine oxidase [flavin-containing] a. In humans, 3,4-dihydroxymandelaldehyde is involved in the metabolic disorder called tyrosinemia type I. Outside of the human body, 3,4-Dihydroxymandelaldehyde has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as wild carrots, kohlrabis, angelica, sunburst squash (pattypan squash), and peachs. This could make 3,4-dihydroxymandelaldehyde a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. To date, 19 aldehyde dehydrogenase genes have been identified in the human genome. Several pharmaceutical agents and environmental toxins are also known to disrupt or inhibit aldehyde dehydrogenase function. Mutations in these genes and subsequent inborn errors in aldehyde metabolism are the molecular basis of several diseases. 3,4- dihydroxymandelaldehyde generates a free radical and activates mitochondrial permeability transition, a mechanism implicated in neuron death. 3,4-Dihydroxymandelaldehyde is the monoamine oxidase (MAO) aldehyde metabolite of both norepinephrine and epinephrine.

Epinephrine + Water + Oxygen → 3,4-Dihydroxymandelaldehyde + Methylamine + Hydrogen peroxidedetails
General function:
Involved in oxidoreductase activity
Specific function:
Catalyzes the oxidative deamination of biogenic and xenobiotic amines and has important functions in the metabolism of neuroactive and vasoactive amines in the central nervous system and peripheral tissues. MAOA preferentially oxidizes biogenic amines such as 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), norepinephrine and epinephrine.

General function:
Involved in oxidoreductase activity
Specific function:
ALDHs play a major role in the detoxification of alcohol-derived acetaldehyde. They are involved in the metabolism of corticosteroids, biogenic amines, neurotransmitters, and lipid peroxidation. This protein preferentially oxidizes aromatic aldehyde substrates. It may play a role in the oxidation of toxic aldehydes.

General function:
Involved in oxidoreductase activity
Specific function:
Recognizes as substrates free retinal and cellular retinol-binding protein-bound retinal. Seems to be the key enzyme in the formation of an RA gradient along the dorso-ventral axis during the early eye development and also in the development of the olfactory system (By similarity).

General function:
Involved in oxidoreductase activity
Specific function:
Oxidizes medium and long chain saturated and unsaturated aldehydes. Metabolizes also benzaldehyde. Low activity towards acetaldehyde and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetaldehyde. May not metabolize short chain aldehydes. May use both NADP(+) and NAD(+) as cofactors. May have a protective role against the cytotoxicity induced by lipid peroxidation.

Reactions
3,4-Dihydroxyphenylglycol + NAD → 3,4-Dihydroxymandelaldehyde + NADH + Hydrogen Iondetails
General function:
Involved in zinc ion binding
Specific function:
Could function in retinol oxidation for the synthesis of retinoic acid, a hormone important for cellular differentiation. Medium-chain (octanol) and aromatic (m-nitrobenzaldehyde) compounds are the best substrates. Ethanol is not a good substrate but at the high ethanol concentrations reached in the digestive tract, it plays a role in the ethanol oxidation and contributes to the first pass ethanol metabolism.
