D-DOPA (D-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine; dextrodopa) is similar to L-DOPA (levodopa), but with opposite chirality. Levo- and dextro- rotation reference a molecule's ability to rotate planes of polarized light in either direction. Whereas L-DOPA is moderately effective in the treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD) and Dopamine-responsive dystonia (DRD) by stimulating the production of dopamine in the brain, D-DOPA is biologically inactive. ==See also== * L-DOPA (Levodopa; Sinemet, Parcopa, Atamet, Stalevo, Madopar, Prolopa, etc.) * L-DOPS (Droxidopa) * Methyldopa (Aldomet, Apo-Methyldopa, Dopamet, Novomedopa, etc.) * Dopamine (Intropan, Inovan, Revivan, Rivimine, Dopastat, Dynatra, etc.) * Norepinephrine (Noradrenaline; Levophed, etc.) * Epinephrine (Adrenaline; Adrenalin, EpiPen, Twinject, etc.) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「D-DOPA」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
