Product Description: Droxidopa-13C6 (L-DOPS-13C6) is 13C labeled Droxidopa. Droxidopa (L-DOPS; SM5688) is a potent, orally active norepinephrine precursor. Droxidopa increases standing blood pressure, ameliorates symptoms of orthostatic hypotension and improves standing ability. Droxidopa has the potential for the research of neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (nOH) and alternative ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder)[1][2][3][4].
Applications: Neuroscience-Neuromodulation
Formula: C3 13C6H11NO5
