| Biochem/physiol Actions: | |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | L-Dopa ethyl ester is a prodrug of levodopa that has greater gastric solubility. The drug is rapidly hydrolyzed to levodopa by nonspecific esterases in the gastrointestinal tract. L-Dopa ethyl ester (etilevodopa)-carbidopa treatment was well tolerated but did not demonstrate better efficacy compared with standard levodopa-carbidopa treatment. L-Dopa ethyl ester should have a significant brain penetration following an administration by injection. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | L-Dopa ethyl ester is prodrug of levodopa that has greater gastric solubility; antiparkinsonian agent |
