Common Name

Homovanillic acid

Description

Homovanillic acid, also known as vanillacetate or homovanillate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as methoxyphenols. Methoxyphenols are compounds containing a methoxy group attached to the benzene ring of a phenol moiety. Homovanillic acid is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Homovanillic acid exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Within humans, homovanillic acid participates in a number of enzymatic reactions. In particular, homovanillic acid and pyrocatechol can be biosynthesized from 3,4-dihydroxybenzeneacetic acid and guaiacol through the action of the enzyme catechol O-methyltransferase. In addition, homovanillic acid can be biosynthesized from homovanillin; which is mediated by the enzyme aldehyde dehydrogenase, dimeric nadp-preferring. A monocarboxylic acid that is the 3-O-methyl ether of (3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)acetic acid. In humans, homovanillic acid is involved in disulfiram action pathway. Outside of the human body, Homovanillic acid is found, on average, in the highest concentration within olives and beers. Homovanillic acid has also been detected, but not quantified in, avocado and milk (cow). This could make homovanillic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Homovanillic acid is a potentially toxic compound. Homovanillic acid, with regard to humans, has been found to be associated with several diseases such as major depressive disorder, autism, hypothyroidism, and perillyl alcohol administration for cancer treatment; homovanillic acid has also been linked to the inborn metabolic disorder phenylketonuria.
