Levodopa, also widely known as L-DOPA, is a crucial amino acid derivative that serves as the immediate precursor to the neurotransmitter dopamine. It is a fundamental compound in neurology, primarily recognized for its indispensable role in the management of Parkinson's disease and various other conditions characterized by dopamine deficiency.

NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is pleased to offer high-quality Levodopa powder, identified by its CAS registry number 59-92-7. Our product presents as a white or similar white crystalline powder, notably odorless, ensuring suitability for demanding pharmaceutical and related applications. The quality of Levodopa is paramount for its efficacy and safety, and our material adheres to stringent specifications.

Our high-purity Levodopa powder boasts an assay of typically greater than 99%, with purity levels confirmed by HPLC also exceeding 99%. Key quality control parameters include strict limits on heavy metals, typically less than 20 ppm, ensuring the absence of harmful contaminants. Other critical tests cover specific impurities like Iron, Lead, Mercury, Arsenic, and Chromium, all maintained at very low or undetectable levels. Physical properties such as pH, water content, ash content, and loss on drying are carefully controlled within standard provisions.

Furthermore, microbial quality is rigorously monitored, with low total plate counts and undetectable levels of specified pathogens such as Coliforms, Staphylococcus Aureus, Salmonella, and Listeria Monocytogenes, ensuring the material's suitability for pharmaceutical use. The optical rotation is also verified as a key identifier and confirmation of the correct stereochemistry.

The primary function of Levodopa is its conversion to dopamine within the brain after crossing the blood-brain barrier. This replenishment of dopamine is vital for restoring motor function and alleviating symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease, a neurodegenerative disorder caused by the loss of dopamine-producing neurons. Beyond Parkinson's, Levodopa is also used in the treatment of dopamine-responsive dystonia and restless legs syndrome, highlighting its versatility in addressing dopamine-related movement disorders.

Research also continues into potential neuroprotective effects of Levodopa, suggesting a broader therapeutic potential. As a pharmaceutical intermediate, it serves as a foundational ingredient for various drug formulations targeting neurological health.
