Metyrosine

Description:

Metyrosine, also known as alpha-methyltyrosine, is an aromatic amino acid derivative with the chemical formula C9H11NO3. It is primarily recognized for its role as a competitive inhibitor of the enzyme tyrosine hydroxylase, which is crucial in the biosynthesis of catecholamines such as dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine. Metyrosine is utilized in clinical settings, particularly for the management of pheochromocytoma, a tumor of the adrenal gland that secretes excess catecholamines. The substance is characterized by its white to off-white crystalline powder form and is soluble in water and alcohol. Its mechanism of action involves reducing catecholamine production, thereby alleviating symptoms associated with catecholamine excess. Metyrosine is typically administered orally and may have side effects, including sedation and gastrointestinal disturbances. As a pharmaceutical agent, it is important to monitor its use under medical supervision to manage potential interactions and contraindications effectively.

a-Me-Tyr-OH

CAS: 672-87-7

a-Me-Tyr-OH is a neurotoxin that binds to the 2-adrenergic receptor and inhibits neurotransmission. It has been shown to have a number of effects on monoamine neurotransmitters, including dopamine and serotonin. The binding of this compound to the 2-adrenergic receptor in the caudate putamen has been shown to be associated with behavioral changes in rats, including locomotor activity and exploratory behavior. This agent also affects neurochemical processes in the hippocampus, causing neuronal death. The effect of this compound on blood sampling is not known.
