Biochem/physiol Actions

6-Hydroxy-DL-DOPA is an inhibitor of APE1 (apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease) repair-function activity. APE1 is a nuclease crucial for DNA base excision repair pathway. 6-Hydroxy-DL-DOPA also blocks RAD52 (DNA repair protein) single-stranded DNA binding domain.
Precursor of the catecholaminergic neurotoxin, 6-hydroxydopamine; converted to 6-hydroxydopamine by L-aromatic amino acid decarboxylase.

Suppression of RAD52 causes synthetic lethality in BRCA-deficient cells. Yet pharmacological inhibition of RAD52, which binds single-strand DNA (ssDNA) and lacks enzymatic activity, has not been demonstrated. Here, we identify the small molecule 6-hydroxy-DL-dopa (6-OH-dopa) as a major allosteric inhibitor

2,4,5-Trihydroxyphenylalanine (TOPA) oxidizes in solution to form a quinone derivative that is a non-NMDA glutamatergic agonist and neurotoxin. DOPA can autoxidize in physiological solutions to form small amounts of both TOPA and TOPA quinone. We report here that this conversion

Overactivity of the glutamatergic system is suggested to be closely related to the onset and pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease. Vesicular glutamate transporters (VGLUT1, T2 and T3) are a group of glutamate transporters in neurons that are responsible for transporting glutamate

Formation of 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) from dopamine has been hypothesized to mediate neurodegeneration induced by some psychostimulants. Although the emergence of a 6-OHDA-like substance was reported in the striatum of methamphetamine-treated rats, this substance has not been identified by a direct
