Promote sleep and reduce fat; Increase bone density and reverse osteoporosis; Increase muscle strength and enhance sexual performance.
Side effect
The possible side effects include gastrointestinal reactions, treatment dosage, and early onset of nausea, loss of appetite in approximately 80%. This is due to the direct stimulation of the gastrointestinal tract by DA and the stimulation of the chemosensory area in the brain. Taking it after meals and slowing down the rate of increment can alleviate it. Or treated with domperidone (methicillin). Cardiovascular response: Approximately 30% of patients experience mild orthostatic hypotension in the early stages, which can be alleviated by continued medication. There are still reactions such as arrhythmia.
Chemical property
White or almost white crystalline powder. Melting point 285.5 ℃ (decomposition). Easy to dissolve in dilute acids, slightly soluble in water, insoluble in ethanol, ether, and chloroform. Odorless, tasteless, turning black in the air.
Purpose
An effective medication for treating tremor paralysis, mainly used for Parkinson's syndrome and other conditions.
Hydroxylated product of tyrosine
It is currently one of the effective drugs for treating tremor paralysis, and is one of the precursors for the synthesis of norepinephrine, dopamine, and other substances in the body. It belongs to the category of catecholamines. IT can enter the brain through the blood-brain barrier, and is converted into dopamine through decarboxylase to exert its effects. But the effect is slow and the side effects are significant. Rat oral LD50>4000mg/kg.
Production methods
Dopa is found in some leguminous plants and can undergo oxidative polymerization under the action of oxidase, producing melanin. The pods of some leguminous plants turn black when they mature. Human and animal hair, squid ink, watermelon seed coat, and other melanins also belong to this type of melanin. The amino acid class - levodopa - can be extracted from the seeds of quinoa (MucunasemporensHemsl). The extraction method is as follows: crush the quinoa beans and extract them three times at room temperature using a mixture of 30% ethanol and 0.1% acetic acid, each time for 24 hours. Filter to obtain the extraction solution. Concentrate the extract under reduced pressure (21.3kPa), precipitate crystals, let it stand overnight at 0-10 ℃, filter, and mix with the crude levodopa. Dissolve the crude product in 1N hydrochloric acid, filter with activated carbon, add a small amount of vitamin C to the filtrate, neutralize with 2N ammonia water to pH 3.5, and precipitate a large amount of crystals. Let it stand at 0-10 ℃ for 4 hours and filter. Wash the filter cake twice with distilled water containing a small amount of vitamin C, and dehydrate it once with acetone. Dried levodopa at 60-70 ℃. Based on soybean flour, the yield is approximately 2%. L-dopa can also be obtained by oxidation of L-tyrosine. Dissolve tyrosine in formic acid and phosphoric acid, heat up to 40 ℃ and hold for 12 hours, then dilute with 20 times distilled water. The diluent adsorbs unreacted tyrosine through strongly acidic styrene based cation exchange resin, and then undergoes post-processing to obtain the finished product.
