Description
Droxidopa (L-DOPS; SM5688) is a potent, orally active norepinephrine precursor. Droxidopa increases standing blood pressure, ameliorates symptoms of orthostatic hypotension and improves standing ability. Droxidopa has the potential for the research of neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (nOH) and alternative ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) [1][2][3][4].

Chemical Information

Droxidopa

Droxidopa is a serine derivative that is L-serine substituted at the beta-position by a 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl group. A prodrug for noradrenalone, it is used for treatment of neurogenic orthostatic hypotension. It has a role as an antihypertensive agent, a prodrug and a vasoconstrictor agent. It is a L-tyrosine derivative and a member of catechols.
