Entry terms

  • 3,4 Dihydroxyphenylalanine
  • 3,4-Dihydroxyphenylalanine
  • 3 Hydroxy DL tyrosine
  • 3-Hydroxy-DL-tyrosine
  • beta Hydroxytyrosine
  • beta-Hydroxytyrosine
  • Dopa

Note

  • check text to see if LEVODOPA; (L-DOPA); is not meant instead

Scope note

  • A beta-hydroxylated derivative of phenylalanine. The D-form of dihydroxyphenylalanine has less physiologic activity than the L-form and is commonly used experimentally to determine whether the pharmacological effects of LEVODOPA are stereospecific.

History note

  • 2002(1966); for BETA-HYDROXYTYROSINE use DIHYDOXYPHENYLALANINE (NM) 1989-1991
