Product Overview

L-DOPA is obtained through a biosynthesis process and is an essential bioactive substance in organisms. It serves as a precursor for the synthesis of neurotransmitters such as norepinephrine and dopamine in the body. L-DOPA can pass through the blood-brain barrier and enter brain tissues, where it is catalyzed by the enzyme dopa decarboxylase to form dopamine, exerting its pharmacological effects. This leads to an increase in dopamine levels in the brain. It is considered a dopamine precursor medication used in the treatment of various types of Parkinson's disease.


Polydopamine, primarily synthesized from L-DOPA monomers, is a major component of natural eumelanin, known for its excellent adhesion properties and outstanding biocompatibility. Traditional permanent hair dyes contain small molecules of the aniline class, which pose potential risks of carcinogenic and allergenic effects. Moreover, these compounds can cause significant damage to the hair when they penetrate its structure. Therefore, the application of polydopamine, primarily synthesized from L-DOPA monomers, as a component in safe and low-toxicity hair dye products holds significant potential.

Functions and Applications
  • Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient

    √ Parkinson's Disease (Primary Tremor Paralysis): It can alleviate the symptoms of tremor paralysis, improve muscle tone, and make limb movements more normal. It is more effective for individuals with mild to moderate symptoms.


    √ Hepatic Encephalopathy: It can help patients regain consciousness and improve their symptoms.


    √ Neuralgia: Early usage can alleviate neuralgia.


    √ Hyperprolactinemia: It can inhibit the release of thyroid-stimulating hormone from the hypothalamus, stimulate the release of prolactin-inhibiting factor, and thus reduce prolactin secretion. It is used to treat hyperprolactinemia and is effective for galactorrhea.


    √ Alopecia (Hair Loss): Its mechanism may involve increasing the concentration of catecholamines in tissues, promoting hair growth.


    √ Promotion of Growth and Development in Children: It can accelerate the growth and development of children's bones by stimulating the secretion of growth hormones. It is used to treat children with pituitary insufficiency.


    √ Natural Enzyme Hair Dye: With over 98% natural ingredients, it is a biomimetic natural eumelanin hair dye, using a 100% natural plant formula, which is natural and non-toxic, offering long-lasting and healthy hair coloring.
