Description | L-DOPA (Levodopa) sodium is an orally active metabolic precursor of neurotransmitters dopamine. L-DOPA sodium can cross the blood-brain barrier and is converted into dopamine in the brain. L-DOPA sodium has anti-allodynic effects, and can be used for Parkinson's disease research[1][2][3]. |

In Vivo | L-DOPA sodium (20 mg/kg; orally) reduces Rotenone-induced motor dysfunction[3]. L-DOPA sodium (0-100 mg/kg; orally) reverses tactile, cold and heat allodynia in neuropathic rat without any side effect in sprague-Dawley rats[4]. Animal Model: C57BL/6J mice (7-week-old)[3] Dosage: 20 mg/kg Administration: Orally Result: Reduced Rotenone-induced motor dysfunction. Animal Model: Sprague-Dawley rats[4] Dosage: 10, 30, 50, 70, and 100 mg/kg Administration: Orally Result: Reverses tactile, cold and heat allodynia in neuropathic rat without any side effect. |
