Description

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.

Application

L-DOPS has been administered for clinical trial studies in mice with amyloid pathology.

Biochem/physiol Actions

L-DOPS is a norepinephrine precursor in vivo.
