4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvic acid
3-(4-hydroxy-phenyl)pyruvic acid, also known as 4-hydroxy a-oxobenzenepropanoate or 3-(p-hydroxyphenyl)-2-oxopropanoate, belongs to phenylpyruvic acid derivatives class of compounds. Those are compounds containing a phenylpyruvic acid moiety, which consists of a phenyl group substituted at the second position by an pyruvic acid. 3-(4-hydroxy-phenyl)pyruvic acid is slightly soluble (in water) and a moderately acidic compound (based on its pKa). 3-(4-hydroxy-phenyl)pyruvic acid can be synthesized from pyruvic acid. 3-(4-hydroxy-phenyl)pyruvic acid can also be synthesized into 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvic acid oxime. 3-(4-hydroxy-phenyl)pyruvic acid can be found in a number of food items such as garden onion (variety), rose hip, sourdough, and horseradish tree, which makes 3-(4-hydroxy-phenyl)pyruvic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. 3-(4-hydroxy-phenyl)pyruvic acid can be found primarily in blood and urine, as well as in human prostate tissue. 3-(4-hydroxy-phenyl)pyruvic acid exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans. In humans, 3-(4-hydroxy-phenyl)pyruvic acid is involved in few metabolic pathways, which include disulfiram action pathway, phenylalanine and tyrosine metabolism, and tyrosine metabolism. 3-(4-hydroxy-phenyl)pyruvic acid is also involved in several metabolic disorders, some of which include tyrosinemia type I, phenylketonuria, tyrosinemia, transient, of the newborn, and alkaptonuria. Moreover, 3-(4-hydroxy-phenyl)pyruvic acid is found to be associated with hawkinsinuria and phenylketonuria. 4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvic acid (4-HPPA) is a keto acid that is involved in the tyrosine catabolism pathway. It is a product of the enzyme (R)-4-hydroxyphenyllactate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.222) and is formed during tyrosine metabolism. The conversion from tyrosine to 4-HPPA is catalyzed by tyrosine aminotransferase. Additionally, 4-HPPA can be converted to homogentisic acid which is one of the precursors to ochronotic pigment. The enzyme 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvic acid dioxygenase (HPD) catalyzes the reaction that converts 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvic acid to homogentisic acid. A deficiency in the catalytic activity of HPD is known to lead to tyrosinemia type III, an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by elevated levels of blood tyrosine and massive excretion of tyrosine derivatives into urine. It has been shown that hawkinsinuria, an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by the excretion of hawkinsin, may also be a result of HPD deficiency (PMID: 11073718). Moreover, 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvic acid is also found to be associated in phenylketonuria, which is also an inborn error of metabolism. There are two isomers of HPPA, specifically 4HPPA and 3HPPA, of which 4HPPA is the most common. 4-HPPA has been found to be a microbial metabolite in Escherichia (ECMDB). KEIO_ID H007 4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvic acid is an intermediate in the metabolism of the amino acid phenylalanine. 4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvic acid is an intermediate in the metabolism of the amino acid phenylalanine.
L-Dopachrome
Dopachrome is a cyclization product of L-DOPA and is an intermediate in the biosynthesis of melanin. Dopaquinone has an ortho-quinone ring, which is known to be neurotoxic and highly reactive with many other compounds (PMID: 413870). Dopachrome spontaneously gives rise to 5,6-dihydroxyindole (DHI) or it can be enzymatically metabolized by dopachrome tautomerase to give 5,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid (DHICA). DHI and its oxidation products are also toxic to cells. Many Parkinsons patients are treated with L-DOPA. However, long-term treatment with L-DOPA may actually worsen symptoms or may result in neurotic and psychotic symptoms. These may be due to dopachrome and dopaquinone accumulating in the brain of L-DOPA treated patients (PMID: 19131041, PMID: 12373519). The non-decarboxylative tautomerization of L-dopachrome to 5,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid in the melanin biosynthetic pathway is catalyzed by Tyrosinase-related protein-2, a melanocyte-specific enzyme.

1,2-Benzoquinone
1,2-Benzoquinone is a reactive electrophile that is an intermediate in benzene metabolism. It is substrate for the enzyme Catechol oxidase (EC 1.10.3.1) and can be generated from the oxidation of catechol. 1,2-Benzoquinone is capable of reacting with blood proteins to produce adducts. 1,2-Benzoquinone, also called ortho-benzoquinone or cyclohexa-3,5-diene-1,2-dione, is a ketone, with formula C6H4O2. It is one of the two isomers of quinone, the other being 1,4-benzoquinone. O-Quinone is found in tea.

In the United States, the drug is marketed under the name Lexapro by Forest Laboratories, Inc; Escitalopram is a medication that acts as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). It is typically used as an antidepressant to treat depression associated with mood disorders, although it also may be used in the treatment of body dysmorphic disorder and anxiety, including OCD; Discontinuation from antidepressants, especially abruptly, has been known to cause certain withdrawal symptoms. One possible discontinuation symptom from Escitalopram is a type of spontaneous nerve pulse known as paresthesia or electric shock sensations, described by some patients as a feeling of small electric shocks, which may be accompanied by dizziness. These pulses may be short in duration, only milliseconds long, may affect any region of the body, and recur up to several times a minute, throughout all waking hours. They can be increased by physical activity, but are not solely linked to muscular activity. Other discontinuation symptoms include extreme sensitivity to loud sounds and bright lights, chills, hot flushes, cold sweats, reddening of the face, abdominal pain, weight gain and extreme mental fatigue.
