dihydroxyphenylalanine and Drug Withdrawal Symptoms

dihydroxyphenylalanine has been researched along with Drug Withdrawal Symptoms in 28 studies

Dihydroxyphenylalanine: A beta-hydroxylated derivative of phenylalanine. The D-form of dihydroxyphenylalanine has less physiologic activity than the L-form and is commonly used experimentally to determine whether the pharmacological effects of LEVODOPA are stereospecific.
dopa : A hydroxyphenylalanine carrying hydroxy substituents at positions 3 and 4 of the benzene ring.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" Hence we would advise that if for any reason anticholinergic drugs are to be withdrawn in patients receiving a stable dosage of levodopa this must be done slowly."2.64Levodopa in Parkinsonism: the effects of withdrawal of anticholinergic drugs. ( Hughes, RC; Polgar, JG; Walton, JN; Weightman, D, 1971)
"Pretreatment with norharman (20 mg/kg) or LSL 60101 (20 mg/kg) (30 min before naloxone) fully prevented the stimulatory effect of opiate withdrawal on DOPA synthesis."1.33High-affinity binding of beta-carbolines to imidazoline I2B receptors and MAO-A in rat tissues: norharman blocks the effect of morphine withdrawal on DOPA/noradrenaline synthesis in the brain. ( Asensio, VJ; Esteban, S; García-Sevilla, JA; Miralles, A; Moranta, D; Sastre-Coll, A, 2005)
"In summary, we conclude that morphine addiction is associated with supersensitivity of 5-HT1A serotonin receptors and alpha2-adrenoceptors (autoreceptors and heteroreceptors) that modulate the synthesis of monoamines in brain."1.31Supersensitivity of 5-HT1A autoreceptors and alpha2-adrenoceptors regulating monoamine synthesis in the brain of morphine-dependent rats. ( Esteban, S; García-Sevilla, JA; Sastre-Coll, A, 2002)
"It has been shown that depakin, a GABA-ergic agonist, and alpha-methyl-DOPA that inhibits catecholamine synthesis are capable of removing the withdrawal syndrome (disturbed pavlovian behavior pattern and aggressiveness) occurring after discontinuance of long-term administration (30 days) of phenazepam to rats in a dose of 2 mg/kg."1.26[Role of GABA-ergic and dopaminergic mechanisms in the withdrawal syndrome after discontinuation of long-term phenazepam administration]. ( Garibova, TL; Voronina, TA, 1980)
"Pretreatment with haloperidol (0."1.25Narcotic withdrawal like mouse jumping produced by amphetamine and L-DOPA. ( Colpaert, FC; Laduron, P; Lal, H, 1975)
