63-84-3
Chemical Structure
DL-Dopa
- CAS No.: 63-84-3
- Formula:C9H11NO4
- Molecular Weight:197.19
IUPAC Name: 2-amino-3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)propanoic acid
InChIKey: WTDRDQBEARUVNC-UHFFFAOYSA-N
SMILES: NC(CC1=CC=C(O)C(O)=C1)C(O)=O
Biological Activity: DL-Dopa is a dopamine precursor. It serves as a substrate for Mushroom Tyrosinase, which oxidizes it to dopaquinone, an intermediate in the DOPA-melanin polymerization process, and this reaction can be detected at 475 nm. DL-Dopa also forms synergistic hydrophobic and π-π stacking interactions with cationic surfactants. Its binding to cetylpyridinium chloride (HY-B1464) is stronger and exhibits better thermodynamic stability than its binding to benzalkonium chloride (HY-B2232). DL-Dopa can compensate for dopamine depletion in the brain and is applicable to research related to Parkinson's disease[1][2].
