3 -Methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylacetaldehyde is an intermediary aldehyde of dopamine metabolism, metabolized by the class I human liver alcohol dehydrogenases (ADHs) . ADH catalyzes both ethanol and acetaldehyde, and the dopamine intermediates compete for the same site of ADH, a basis for the ethanol-induced in vivo alterations of dopamine metabolism.
