Notes:
the naturally occurring form of dihydroxyphenylalanine and the immediate precursor of dopamine. unlike dopamine itself, it can be taken orally and crosses the blood-brain barrier. it is rapidly taken up by dopaminergic neurons and converted to dopamine. it is used for the treatment of parkinsonian disorders and is usually given with agents that inhibit its conversion to dopamine outside of the central nervous system. Occurs in seedlings and pods of Vicia faba L-DOPA (L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine; INN levodopa; trade names Sinemet, Parcopa, Atamet, Stalevo, Madopar, Prolopa, etc.) is a naturally-occurring dietary supplement and psychoactive drug found in certain kinds of food and herbs (e.g., Mucuna pruriens, or velvet bean), and is synthesized from the amino acid L-tyrosine in the mammalian body and brain.
