L tyrosine

Levodopa


not good solubility at ph = &


used for Parkinsons - can pass BBB - central activity

Why  does me tyrosine inhibit?

Why does metyrosine inhibit?

similar structure to L-tyrosine, competes and L-tyrosine can't bind

L-tyrosine to Levodopa

Tyrosine hydroxylase - rate limiting step

Levodopa to Dopamine

L-Aromatic amino acid decarboxylase

Inhibitor


similar to L-Dopa


Why is Carbidopa used with levodopa?

for parkinsons


takes advantage of inhibition of enzyme to slow down L-dopa metabolism to dopamine = longer time to cross BBB
