Abstract

The occurrence of measurable quantities of 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylethanol (MHPE), a minor metabolite of dopamine, in brain and CSF is controversial. Utilizing gas-liquid chromatography and electron capture detection in a study of trifluoroacetyl and pentafluoropropionyl derivatives of this compound, we were unable to confirm the presence of MHPE in either whole brain or striatal tissue.
