Metabolite Identification
Common Name3,4-Dimethylcatechol
Description3,4-Dimethylcatechol is a catechol derivative and a metabolite described in biomedical literature. It plays a significant role in the microbial degradation of aromatic compounds, particularly in the metabolism of o-xylene and toluene. The enzymatic pathway for o-xylene involves the monooxygenation of the benzene nucleus, leading to the formation of dimethylphenol, which is then further metabolized to 3,4-dimethylcatechol. This compound is unique among dimethylcatechol isomers as it can be efficiently cleaved by catechol 2,3-dioxygenase, facilitating its use as a carbon and energy source in microbial metabolism (PMID:16734718 , PMID:16085871 ). In various bacterial strains, such as DK17 and opacus R7, 3,4-dimethylcatechol is produced as an intermediate during the degradation of o-xylene and is subsequently further processed through the meta-cleavage pathway (PMID:15607751 , PMID:11605984 ). Advanced analytical techniques, including gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance, have confirmed the accumulation of this metabolite during the degradation processes (PMID:12089003 , PMID:8998974 ). Overall, 3,4-dimethylcatechol serves as a crucial substrate in the microbial catabolism of aromatic hydrocarbons, highlighting its importance in environmental bioremediation.
