Molecular structure：

General information:

Levodopa is an important bioactive substance in living organisms and an important intermediate in the biochemical metabolic pathway from L-tyrosine to catechol or melanin. It has an ortho-diphenol structure and is unstable. It is extremely prone to being oxidized and deteriorated by the oxygen in the air. When its aqueous solution is left standing for a while, it will turn black, and factors such as high temperature can accelerate such changes. Dopamine is an important neurotransmitter. Levodopa can pass through the blood-brain barrier and decarboxylate in brain tissue to form Dopamine, thereby increasing the dopamine content in brain tissue to achieve the purpose of treatment.
