Chemical Structure:

Levodopa is an intermediate in dopamine (an important neurotransmitter) biosynthesis, It is decarboxylated to dopamine by the enzyme aromatic-L-amino-acid decarboxylase. Levodopa is used as an anticholinergic drug and used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease which is associated with the reduced production of dopamine by the brain. Levodopa is not a cure for Parkinson’s, it only offers relief of symptoms associated with it. It is used sometimes in combination with carbidopa.
