Descrição

DL-alpha-Methyl-m-tyrosine (AMT) is a drug that is used to treat Parkinson's disease. It is an inhibitor of the uptake of dopamine and norepinephrine, which are neurotransmitters in the central nervous system. AMT blocks the action of a specific enzyme called aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase, preventing the conversion of these neurotransmitters into their inactive metabolites. AMT also has been shown to be an antidepressant drug with stimulant properties. This may be due to its ability to inhibit uptake and release of monoamines in brain tissue.
