L-DOPA-13C

L-DOPA-13C

• CAS Number: 586971-29-1
• UNSPSC Description: L-DOPA-13C is the 13C labeled L-DOPA[1]. L-DOPA (Levodopa) is an orally active metabolic precursor of neurotransmitters dopamine. L-DOPA can cross the blood-brain barrier and is converted into dopamine in the brain. L-DOPA has anti-allodynic effects and the potential for Parkinson's disease[2][3][4].
