Product Information

• Name: PAOPA
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: PAOPA is a tyrosinase inhibitor that has been shown to be a potent and selective competitive inhibitor of tyrosinase. It has been shown to inhibit the dopamine-induced tyrosinase activity in rat striatal membranes. PAOPA also blocks the binding of L-DOPA to its receptor, and inhibits the synthesis of melanin by inhibiting the conversion of DOPA to dopaquinone. The low bioavailability of PAOPA may be due to its poor absorption from the gastrointestinal tract and rapid metabolism in liver. PAOPA is effective when used at doses greater than 10 mg/kg body weight.
