Inhibition of O-methyltransferase by catechol and sensitization to epinephrine.

Z M BACQ, L GOSSELIN, A DRESSE, J RENSON.   

Abstract

Catechol at equimolecular concentration inhibits the inactivation of adrenaline by O-methyltransferase in vitro about 50 percent. The inhibition is probably responsible for the sensitization of smooth muscles to epinephrine by various ortho di- or triphenols.
