What is Levodopa?
Levodopa is the precursor of dopamine, as well as it is a typically made use of medication name worldwide. Different manufacturers have various trade names when the drugs get on the market. Dental levodopa tablets normally degenerate and liquify in the belly, then release into the duodenum, after that reach the small intestine, and absorb right into the blood at the top end of the small intestine. A tiny part of levodopa can lastly go through the “blood-brain obstacle” and go into the mind.
The essence of Parkinson’s disease is the death of dopamine-secreting neurons in the midbrain of the patient, resulting in a lack of dopamine in the brain, causing patients to experience a series of symptoms such as tremor, stiffness, and slow movement. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that acts as a trigger for the brain to direct the rest of the body to move. However, it is ineffective to take dopamine directly or inject dopamine into the patient, because dopamine cannot enter the brain tissue through the blood-brain barrier blood vessels. In addition, many peripheral tissues and organs have dopamine receptors. If dopamine is directly administered orally or intramuscularly, it will cause side effects that many patients cannot tolerate.
Levodopa Uses
Levodopa can deal with Parkinson’s illness and also Parkinson’s syndrome; Deal with liver coma, enhance main feature, make the individual awake, and also improve signs. Advertise sleep as well as minimize fat; Increase bone thickness and also reverse weakening of bones; Rise muscle strength as well as sexual capability.
- Levodopa is the direct precursor of dopamine as well as the product of tyrosine hydroxylase. It originates from vanillin and also is extensively made use of in the therapy of Parkinson’s disease. It is most generally utilized in mix with outer decarboxylase inhibitors such as benzylhydrazine and carbidopa.
- 3,4-Dihydroxy-L-phenylalanine or L-DOPA is an all-natural isomer of the direct precursor of dopamine that crosses the blood-brain barrier. It is used to deal with Parkinson’s illness as well as is the product of tyrosine hydroxylase.
- Levodopa is one of the reliable medicines for the therapy of shake paralysis currently. It is among the forerunners for the synthesis of norepinephrine and also dopamine in the body and also belongs to catecholamine. Levodopa can enter the brain with the blood-brain obstacle, as well as play a role by decarboxylation of Doma decarboxylase into dopamine.

The Past and Present of Levodopa
Swiss biochemist Marcus Guggenheim isolated levodopa from Windsor beans. In order to explore its effectiveness, he tried 2.5 g himself, which caused severe nausea and vomiting.
Arvid Carlsson discovered that dopamine is an important neurotransmitter in the brain, and at the same time, reserpine can reduce the concentration of dopamine, resulting in Parkinson-like symptoms, and found that Parkinson’s syndrome is mainly caused by the lack of dopamine. In addition, levodopa has also been found to be useful in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease. Therefore, in 2000, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
Birkmayer and Hornykiewicz conducted the first clinical trials of levodopa. They gave patients with Parkinson’s disease intravenous levodopa, and the patients’ symptoms improved miraculously. Since then, doctors throughout Europe and the United States have been testing the efficacy of levodopa. However, perhaps due to insufficient dosage, the number of effective patients was limited, which once caused the academic community to give up the research on levodopa treatment of Parkinson’s disease.
Cotzias et al. reported that patients with Parkinson’s disease after oral administration of levodopa had significantly improved symptoms of dyskinesia, and the effect was remarkable. The era of levodopa is officially announced. At the same time, levodopa was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and officially used in clinical practice.
And levodopa was finally able to be commercially produced thanks to American chemist William Knowles. He produced a catalyst that, when added to the catalyst, produced almost 100 percent pure levodopa. Asymmetric hydrogenation reaction has been widely used in the industrial synthesis of pharmaceutical industry, including antibiotics, anti-infective drugs and heart disease drugs. For this reason, William Knowles won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2001.
The compound preparation of benserazide, carbidopa and levodopa is approved by FDA. Concomitant administration of levodopa with a dopa decarboxylase inhibitor may improve bioavailability and tolerability by reducing peripheral metabolism of levodopa. This is also the type of preparation that most Parkinson’s patients are currently taking, including Madopar (Dopaserazide Tablets), Xining (Carbidopa Sustained Release Tablets) and Xilaimei (Carbidopa Levodopa Tablets) ). Since then, it has been the prelude to the gold standard of anti-Parkinson treatment for decades.
Dopamine receptor agonists, monoamine oxidase inhibitors, catechol-O-methyltransferase inhibitors, etc. have come out one after another, and combined with levodopa can further improve the bioavailability of levodopa and reduce motor complications (symptom fluctuations and dyskinesias) occur.
Precautions for levodopa in the treatment of Parkinson's disease
Medications should be taken on time and in doses as directed by your doctor. Because it is necessary to maintain a relatively stable blood concentration to control the occurrence of the disease well, the time and dose of medication should not be changed arbitrarily to avoid missed doses.
A small number of patients will show some serious adverse reactions in the early stage of medication. At this time, the dosage should not be increased, and the dosage should be reduced, but complete withdrawal of the drug should be avoided, so that the patients themselves can go through a certain process of adaptation to the drug. When the adverse reactions disappear or can be tolerated, the daily dose can be slowly increased gradually.
- Blood and Lymphatic System
Including hemolytic anemia, transient leukopenia and thrombocytopenia, blood cells, liver and kidney function should be checked regularly. - Digestive system
Some patients have nausea, vomiting, slow digestion, anorexia and so on. - Nervous system
Individual patients experience loss of taste or disturbance, and can cause drowsiness and so on. - Vascular system
Orthostatic hypotension is common in patients, and the dosage should be appropriately reduced. - Skin and subcutaneous tissue
Occasional allergic symptoms such as itching and rash.
For patients with drug allergies, it should not be used
It should be prohibited for patients with liver and kidney insufficiency, heart disease, angle-closure glaucoma, and mental illness.
For women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, it should be prohibited to use.
It should be contraindicated in patients with incomplete skeletal development.
Under normal circumstances, patients should take the medicine before meals to reduce the influence of food on drug absorption.
If patients need to take iron medicines, they should take iron medicines 2 hours after taking levodopa medicines, because iron medicines will affect the absorption of levodopa medicines.
Avoid high-fat, high-protein diets, which can reduce the effectiveness of levodopa drugs.
Levodopa should not be used simultaneously with sympathomimetic drugs (epinephrine, norepinephrine, isoproterenol, or amphetamine, etc.), because levodopa can enhance the effects of these drugs.
It cannot be taken together with neuroleptics, opioids and antihypertensive drugs containing reserpine, because the above drugs will inhibit the therapeutic effect of levodopa drugs.
