In Vitro Metyrosine acts by inhibiting tyrosine hydroxylase, thus causing depletion of adrenal stores of catecholamines[2].
In Vivo Metyrosine (50-200 mg/kg; i.p.) reduces carrageenan inflammation[1]. Metyrosine (50-200 mg/kg; i.p.) shows antiulcerative activity is 87.7%, 93.7% and 95.5% for 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg doses of metyrosine, respectively[1]. Animal Model: Male albino Wistar rats (carrageenan-induced rat paw edema)[2] Dosage: 50, 100 or 200 mg/kg Administration: I.p. Result: Reduced carrageenan inflammation at 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg doses (40%, 67% and 87%, respectively, at 4 h).
