Description

2,4,5-Trihydroxy-DL-phenylalanine (2,4,5-THP) is a natural amino acid that has been found to have neurotrophic effects. It has shown to increase the levels of prolactin in the blood and tissues of experimental animals. 2,4,5-THP binds with dopamine or amines and can be used as a cofactor for enzymes involved in oxidative injury. 2,4,5-THP has also been shown to have antidepressant properties and to protect against neuronal death caused by pharmacological agents or fatty acids. 2,4,5-THP is structurally similar to tricyclic antidepressants such as imipramine and chlorpromazine.
