DL-DOPA

Description:

DL-DOPA, or Dihydroxyphenylalanine, is a non-essential amino acid that serves as a precursor to neurotransmitters such as dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine. It is a racemic mixture of two enantiomers: L-DOPA, which is biologically active and used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease, and D-DOPA, which has no significant biological activity. DL-DOPA is a white to off-white crystalline powder that is soluble in water and slightly soluble in alcohol. Its molecular formula is C9H11NO4, and it has a molecular weight of approximately 197.19 g/mol. The compound exhibits a melting point that varies depending on its form and purity. DL-DOPA is often used in research and clinical settings to study dopamine metabolism and related neurological conditions. Due to its role in neurotransmitter synthesis, it is of significant interest in pharmacology and neuroscience. However, its use should be carefully monitored due to potential side effects and interactions with other medications.

Controlled Product

CAS: 63-84-3

3,4-Dihydroxy-DL-phenylalanine is a phenolic compound that can be found in plants, animals and humans. It is a precursor of dopamine and has been shown to inhibit bacterial growth and decrease the production of p-hydroxybenzoic acid by inhibiting the enzyme tyrosinase. 3,4-Dihydroxy-DL-phenylalanine has also been shown to have antioxidant properties and may be useful in preventing neuronal death. 3,4-Dihydroxy-DL-phenylalanine has the ability to prevent oxidative stress by scavenging free radicals. The compound also inhibits lipid peroxidation induced by trifluoroacetic acid (TFA).
