Overview:
L-DOPA also known as&©|160;levodopa&©|160;and&©|160;l-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine, is an amino acid that is made and used as part of the normal&©|160;biology&©|160;of humans, as well as some animals and plants. Humans, as well as a portion of the other animals that utilize&©|160;L-DOPA in their biology, make it via&©|160;biosynthesis&©|160;from the&©|160;amino acid&©|160;L-tyrosine.&©|160;L-DOPA is the&©|160;precursor&©|160;to the&©|160;neurotransmitters&©|160;dopamine,&©|160;norepinephrine&©|160;(noradrenaline), and&©|160;epinephrine&©|160;(adrenaline), which are collectively known as&©|160;catecholamines. Furthermore,&©|160;L-DOPA itself mediates&©|160;neurotrophic factor&©|160;release by the brain and CNS.&©|160;L-DOPA can be manufactured and in its pure form is sold as a&©|160;psychoactive drug&©|160;with the&©|160;INN&©|160;levodopa.
&©|160;Production:
The production methods of L-Dopa mainly include chemical synthesis, microbial enzyme conversion, and plant extraction. The chemical synthesis method has a high yield, but it produces a mixture of L-type and D-type, which will cause side effects due to different metabolism between the components. L-Dopa was synthesized by microbial enzyme conversion with low yield and high production cost. No industrial production has been reported.
At present, the main source of levodopa is extracted from Mucuna&©|160;pruriens.
&©|160;Youbio Natural Levodopa Efficacy overview:
L-DOPA crosses the protective&©|160;blood¨Cbrain barrier, whereas&©|160;dopamine&©|160;itself cannot.&©|160;Thus,&©|160;L-DOPA is used to increase dopamine&©|160;concentrations&©|160;in the treatment of&©|160;Parkinson's disease&©|160;and&©|160;dopamine-responsive dystonia.&©|160;Once&©|160;L-DOPA has entered the&©|160;central nervous system, it is converted into dopamine by the&©|160;enzyme&©|160;aromatic |
