Usage

General Description

2,5-Dihydroxy-DL-Phenylalanine, also known as DOPA, is a chemical compound that is a derivative of the amino acid phenylalanine. It is a precursor to the neurotransmitters dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine, making it an important compound in the synthesis of catecholamines. DOPA is also a key intermediate in the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin and hair color. It is commonly used in research and medical applications, including the treatment of Parkinson's disease and other disorders related to dopamine deficiency. Additionally, DOPA is involved in the production of various pharmaceuticals and is used as a precursor in the synthesis of certain polymers and materials.
