Etilevodopa hydrochloride (Standard)
Etilevodopa (hydrochloride) (Standard) is the analytical standard of Etilevodopa (hydrochloride). This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Etilevodopa (L-Dopa ethyl ester) hydrochloride, an ethyl-ester proagent of Levodopa, is rapidly hydrolyzed to Levodopa and ethanol by nonspecific esterases in the gastrointestinal tract. Etilevodopa hydrochloride is used for the treatment of Parkinson disease (PD). Levodopa is the direct precursor of dopamine and is a suitable proagent as it facilitates CNS penetration and delivers dopamine[1][2][3].
