Abstract
3-Hydroxytyramine (dopamine; 3, 4-dihydroxyphenylethylamine) is reported for the first time as an algal constituent. It was isolated and crystallized in approximately 0.3% of the fresh weight of the green alga, Monostroma fuscum. The identity was established by the comparison of its physical and chemical properties with those of an authentic specimen. 3-Hydroxytyramine is the principal phenol and the natural substrate for phenolase in this organism.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
