3-O-methyl-L-DOPA is a metabolite of L-DOPA , produced by the activity of catechol O-methyltransferase. 3-O-methyl-L-DOPA may have effects of its own or it may compete with the actions of L-DOPA.
3-O-methyl-L-DOPA (hydrate) is a significant metabolite of L-DOPA produced through the action of catechol O-methyltransferase (COMT). Unlike its precursor, 3-O-Methyldopa does not serve as a substrate or inhibitor of L-amino acid decarboxylase activity. Additionally, the inhibition of COMT can amplify the anti-Parkinson effects of L-DOPA.
