  2. Dopamine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dopamine

    Dopamine (DA, a contraction of 3,4-dihydroxyphenethylamine) is a neuromodulatory molecule that plays several important roles in cells. It is an organic chemical of the catecholamine and phenethylamine families. Dopamine constitutes about 80% of the catecholamine content in the brain.

    3,4-Dihydroxyphenylacetaldehyde (DOPAL), also known as dopamine aldehyde, is a metabolite of the monoamine neurotransmitter dopamine formed by monoamine oxidase (MAO). [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Other metabolic pathways of dopamine metabolism include methylation by catechol O -methyltransferase (COMT) into 3-methoxytyramine and β-hydroxylation by dopamine β ...

  6. Oxidopamine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxidopamine

    The toxin oxidopamine is an antagonist of the neurotransmitter dopamine, and is commonly used for making experimental animal models in Parkinson's disease. Parkinson disease leads to degeneration of dopaminergic midbrain neurons resulting in dopamine depletion. Therefore oxidopamine can induce Parkinson disease in animal models.

  9. 3,4-Dihydroxyphenylacetic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3,4-Dihydroxyphenylacetic_acid

    3,4-Dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) is a metabolite of the neurotransmitter dopamine. Dopamine can be metabolized into one of three substances. One such substance is DOPAC. Another is 3-methoxytyramine (3-MT). Both of these substances are degraded to form homovanillic acid (HVA).
