Levodopa (L-dopa). A substance used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease. Levodopa can cross the blood-brain barrier that protects the brain. Once in the brain, it is converted to dopamine and thus can replace the dopamine lost in Parkinson's disease.
Dopamine itself is not typically used as a medication because when it is taken orally, it does not cross the blood-brain barrier, and thus cannot be transported into the brain. Levodopa (also known as L-Dopa) is the most commonly used dopamine precursor.It occurs naturally in plants and animals and is converted into dopamine in the human body. Legumes such as fava beans contain high levels of levodopa.
