Description: D-DOPA is the dextrorotary isomer of the dopamine precursor L-DOPA. It can be converted to L-DOPA via sequential oxidation and transamination, which are mediated by D-amino acid oxidase and DOPA transaminase, respectively, in rat kidney homogenates. It reduces the number of dopaminergic neurons in primary rat embryonic mesencephalic cultures in a concentration-dependent manner. Intraventricular administration of D-DOPA increases striatal dopamine levels in rats. D-DOPA induces contralateral turns in a rat model of Parkinson's disease induced by 6-OHDA.
