D-DOPA Is a Potent, Orally Bioavailable, Allosteric Inhibitor of Glutamate Carboxypeptidase II
Glutamate carboxypeptidase-II (GCPII) is a zinc-dependent metalloenzyme implicated in numerous neurological disorders. The pharmacophoric requirements of active-site GCPII inhibitors makes them highly charged, manifesting poor pharmacokinetic (PK ...

Secretion of Dopa in Phaeochromocytoma [PDF]
In a series of 11 cases with phaeochromocytoma, two patients were found in whom the tumour secreted dopa in addition to dopamine, noradrenaline, and adrenaline. These two patients were normotensive in spite of high plasma and urinary levels of noradrenaline and adrenaline.
