Off-White Solid | [Usage]
Droxidopa is a psychoactive drug and acts as a prodrug to the neurotransmitters norepinephrine (noradrenaline) and epinephrine (adrenaline). | [Usage]
The L-threo-form Droxidopa. A synthetic amino acid precursor of Norepinephrine (N674500). Antiparkinsonian. | [Definition]
ChEBI: A serine derivative that is L-serine substituted at the beta-position by a 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl group. A prodrug for noradrenalone, it is used for treatment of neurogenic orthostatic hypotension | [Description]
Droxidopa is a synthetic amino acid precursor of (-)-norepinephrine which is absorbed
from the gut and metabolized to norepinephrine. In Parkinsonian patients, droxidopa
added to existing levodopa/decarboxylase inhibitor therapy produces significant
improvements in retropulsion, dysarthria and muscular rigidity refractory to other
treatments; however, tremor was unaffected. | [Originator]

DOPS | [General Description]
L-DOPS, also called L-threo 3,4-Dihydroxyphenylserine or droxidopa is a catecholamine. L-DOPS has many clinical advantages and may be useful for treating norepinephrine deficiency. It is used for treating neurogenic orthostatic hypotension and improves norepinephrine levels. L-DOPS mediates reduction of amyloid plaques and could have a therapeutic potential for treating amyloid pathology. | [Biochem/physiol Actions]
L-DOPS is a norepinephrine precursor in vivo. | [storage]
