CAS number: 59-92-7
Levodopa is a prodrug of dopamine that is administered to patients with Parkinson's due to its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier. Levodopa can be metabolised to dopamine on either side of the blood-brain barrier and so it is generally administered with a dopa decarboxylase inhibitor like carbidopa to prevent metabolism until after it has crossed the blood-brain barrier. Once past the blood-brain barrier, levodopa is metabolized to dopamine and supplements the low endogenous levels of dopamine to treat symptoms of Parkinson's. The first developed drug product that was approved by the FDA was a levodopa and carbidopa combined product called Sinemet that was approved on May 2, 1975.
CAS number: 5906-30-9
1-Piperazinesulfonamide is a sulfonamide derivative of piperazine, featuring a six-membered piperazine ring with two nitrogen atoms at positions 1 and 4. The sulfonamide group (–SO2NH2) is attached to one of the nitrogen atoms, contributing to its potential biological activity, particularly as an enzyme inhibitor or antimicrobial agent.
CAS number: 591-50-4
Iodobenzene is defined as an aromatic compound that serves as a starting material for the preparation of hypervalent iodine reagents, often alongside ring-substituted analogues such as iodobenzoic acid.
CAS number: 591-59-3
Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate is an aldotriose phosphate that is the 3-phospho derivative of glyceraldehyde. It is an important metabolic intermediate in several central metabolic pathways in all organisms. It has a role as a human metabolite, a plant metabolite and an Escherichia coli metabolite. It is an aldotriose phosphate and an aldehyde. It is functionally related to a glyceraldehyde. It is a conjugate acid of a glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate(2-).
CAS number: 591-87-7
Allyl acetate is a flammable liquid and poses a fire hazard. Allyl acetate is a colorless, water-insoluble liquid with a pungent odor.
CAS number: 591-93-5
1,4-Pentadiene is an organic compound characterized by the presence of two carbon-carbon double bonds, one at the 1st and another at the 4th carbon position. It's also known as penta-1,4-diene.
1-(2,2-Dimethoxy-ethyl)-2-isocyano-benzene features a benzene ring substituted with a 2,2-dimethoxyethyl group and an isocyano group.
CAS number: 593-51-1
Methylamine hydrochloride is obtained by heating two equivalents of formaldehyde (as formalin) with ammonium chloride at about 100°.
CAS number: 593-60-2
