3-Methoxycatechol is a lignan-derived phenol.1 It is an agonist of G protein-coupled receptor 35 (GPR35) with an EC50 value of 147 µM in a dynamic mass redistribution (DMR) assay using HT-29 cells.2 Dietary administration of 3-methoxycatechol (2%) alone, or in a model of multiorgan carcinogenesis induced by nitrosamines, promotes esophageal carcinogenesis in rats.3 3-Methoxycatechol has been used as a precursor in the enzymatic synthesis of the phenols pyrogallol and purpurogallin and in the electro-organic synthesis of coumestan derivatives.1,4
