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

Ropinirole, a recent introduction in the clinical treatment of Parkinson's disease, suffers with the problems of low oral bioavailability and frequent dosing. An effective transdermal nano-emulsion drug delivery system can however resolve these issues effectively with greater therapeutic benefits and

The interactions of ascorbic acid (AA) and reduced glutathione (GSH) in the oxidations of the catecholaminergic neurotoxins 6-hydroxydopa (TOPA) and 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) were investigated by both high performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection (HPLC-ED) and spectrometric methods. These comparative studies
