Inhibitors

Inhibitors Comment Organism Structure
alpha-methyl-L-tyrosine in vivo injection into the neurointermediate lobe of the pituitary gland, i.e. the intracerebro-ventricular and intra-arcuatus injection, leads to reduced synthesis of dopamine and DOPA, but not of norepinephrine, and leads to increased contents of pituitary prolactin, overview Rattus norvegicus

L-tyrosine + tetrahydrobiopterin + O2 Rattus norvegicus the enzyme catalyzes the rate-limiting step in dopamine biosynthesis, enzyme inhibition in the brain leads to hypothalamic reduced dopamine and DOPAC levels and increased pituitary prolactine, while the norepinephrine levels remain unaltered, overview 3,4-dihydroxy-L-phenylalanine + 4a-hydroxytetrahydrobiopterin + H2O
