DescriptionL-Dopa, also known as dopar or dopaston, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as tyrosine and derivatives. Tyrosine and derivatives are compounds containing tyrosine or a derivative thereof resulting from reaction of tyrosine at the amino group or the carboxy group, or from the replacement of any hydrogen of glycine by a heteroatom. L-Dopa is a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). L-Dopa exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. Within humans, L-dopa participates in a number of enzymatic reactions. In particular, L-dopa and tetrahydrobiopterin can be converted into dopamine and 4a-hydroxytetrahydrobiopterin through its interaction with the enzyme aromatic-L-amino-acid decarboxylase. In addition, L-dopa can be converted into dopaquinone; which is catalyzed by the enzyme tyrosinase. In humans, L-dopa is involved in the metabolic disorder called hawkinsinuria. L-Dopa is an odorless tasting compound. Outside of the human body, L-Dopa is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as broad beans, swiss chards, and yellow wax beans and in a lower concentration in spinachs, garden onions, and green beans. L-Dopa has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as chicory roots, bitter gourds, mustard spinachs, pistachio, and savoy cabbages. This could make L-dopa a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. L-Dopa is a potentially toxic compound. L-Dopa, with regard to humans, has been found to be associated with several diseases such as eosinophilic esophagitis and alzheimer's disease; L-dopa has also been linked to several inborn metabolic disorders including aromatic l-amino acid decarboxylase deficiency and sepiapterin reductase deficiency. An optically active form of dopa having L-configuration.
