The Uses of ethyl (2S)-2-amino-3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)propanoate
L-Dopa ethyl ester has been used to study the protective effects of piperlongumine (PLG) on rotenone-induced Parkinson disease (PD).
Definition
ChEBI: Etilevodopa is a tyrosine derivative.
Biochem/physiol Actions
L-Dopa ethyl ester is a prodrug of levodopa that has greater gastric solubility. The drug is rapidly hydrolyzed to levodopa by nonspecific esterases in the gastrointestinal tract. L-Dopa ethyl ester (etilevodopa)-carbidopa treatment was well tolerated but did not demonstrate better efficacy compared with standard levodopa-carbidopa treatment. L-Dopa ethyl ester should have a significant brain penetration following an administration by injection.
