4-Methylcatechol

• Description :

  4-methylcatechol is a metabolite of homoprotocatechuic acid. It is both a substrate and a suicide inhibitor of Catechol 23-dioxygenase. 4-methylcatechol is known to induce the production of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) . Recent studies have suggested that a lack of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the limbic system may cause neuropathic pain.
