Based on the poperties of known catechol phosphate esters, I am testing the hypothesis that the three or four phosphate esters of dopamine, as well as the corresponding esters of norepinephrine and epinephrine, have biological and pharmacologic roles. In a more general way, I am also thinking about the biologlical effects of the phosphate esters of other o-hydroquinones and p-hydroquinones; for example the phosphate esters of estrogens. I would like to discuss the above with anyone who is interested.
