:2-amino-2-(3-hydroxyphenyl)acetic acid
Description:
2-Amino-2-(3-hydroxyphenyl)acetic acid, commonly known as L-DOPA, is an amino acid derivative that plays a crucial role in the biosynthesis of neurotransmitters. It is characterized by the presence of an amino group (-NH2), a carboxylic acid group (-COOH), and a phenolic hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to a phenyl ring. This compound is a white to off-white crystalline solid that is soluble in water and exhibits a slightly acidic nature due to its carboxylic acid group. L-DOPA is primarily known for its therapeutic use in the treatment of Parkinson's disease, as it serves as a precursor to dopamine, a neurotransmitter that is deficient in patients with this condition. Additionally, it has antioxidant properties and may influence mood and cognitive functions. The compound's stability can be affected by factors such as pH and temperature, and it is typically stored in a cool, dry place to maintain its efficacy.
