Inhibitory effect of (+)threo-3,4-dihydroxy-phenylserine (DOPS) on decarboxylation of (-)threo-dops.
The decarboxylation of racemic threo and erythro-3,4-dihydroxyphenylserine (DOPS), norepinephrine (NE) precursors, has been reported in mammalian peripheral and central nervous system tissues in vivo (1-5). It has also been demonstrated both in vitro and in vivo that the rate of racemic erythro-DOPS decarboxylation is more rapid than that of racemic threo-DOPS (6). A recent report on the action...
متن کاملInhibitory effects of L-threo-DOPS, an L-noradrenaline precursor, on locus coeruleus-originating neurons in the caudate nucleus.
Electrophysiological studies using reserpine-treated cats were carried out to elucidate the effects of L-threo-3,4-dihydroxyphenylserine (L-threo-DOPS) on the noradrenergic pathway from the locus coeruleus (LC) to the caudate nucleus (CN) neurons, which were activated by iontophoretically applied bromocriptine, a dopamine D-2 receptor agonist. In the CN neurons, glutamate-induced firing was inh...
متن کاملThe protective effect of L-threo-3,4-dihydroxyphenylserine on ischemic hippocampal neuronal death in gerbils.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE L-Threo-3,4-dihydroxyphenylserine (DOPS) is reported to increase the nerve growth factor (NGF) synthesis in cultured mouse L-M fibroblast and astroglial cells, and this effect is not blocked by treatment with decarboxylase inhibitor. NGF is suggested to play an important role in neuronal survival and regeneration under pathological conditions. We evaluated the possible pr...
متن کاملSepiapterin reductase producing L-threo-dihydrobiopterin from Chlorobium tepidum.
A novel type of NADPH-dependent sepiapterin reductase, which catalysed uniquely the reduction of sepiapterin to l-threo-dihydrobiopterin, was purified 533-fold from the cytosolic fraction of Chlorobium tepidum, with an overall yield of 3%. The native enzyme had a molecular mass of 55 kDa and SDS/PAGE revealed that the enzyme consists of two subunits with a molecular mass of 26 kDa. The enzyme w...
متن کاملAcute pandysautonomia: mass spectrometric and histopathological studies of the sympathetic nervous system during long term L-threo-3,4-dihydroxyphenylserine treatment.
Stable isotope labelled L-threo-3,4-dihydroxyphenylserine (L-DOPS) infusion tests and histopathological studies of the rectal autonomic nerves were performed in a patient with acute pandysautonomia. A pronounced increase in blood pressure occurred and stable isotope labelled noradrenaline appeared in the plasma during L-DOPS infusion in the acute stage, but decreased during the next three years...
