- From now on, do you know which group each drug you take belongs to?
Levo-Dopa pure and pure and alone does not exist. With good reason: an endogenous enzyme, the so-called dopa decarboxylase (DDC) would destroy 99% of the levo-dopa in the body make. So we would have to swallow several grams of pure Levo-Dopa to get the effect of the today's tablet with 50 or 100 mg. All of today's L-Dopa preparations contain it a DDS inhibitor: benserazide or carbidopa in a 4:1 ratio. The two are the same Good.
dopamineagonists and act like dopamine, so have the same effects as dopamine, but they are chemically different. You could also use them as dopamine substitutes describe.
Monoamine oxidase (MAO) is an enzyme that breaks down dopamine in the synapse. if If you slow down this enzyme, then the dopamine acts longer - own like that one consumes via Levo-Dopa.
Safinamide is an active ingredient similar to MAOIs with smaller additional benefits.
7. COMT inhibitors:
Catechol-O-methyl-transferase is an enzyme that prematurely degrades Levo-Dopa position. So, these drugs contribute to the longer effect of Levo-Dopa. Of the Levo-Dopa decreases later, the overall effect of Levo-Dopa is more even.
