Identification of L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine in the brain of the crayfish Pacifastacus leniusculus (Dana) and in tentacles of the sea anemone Metridium senile (L) by use of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.
(1989) In Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology. Part C: Comparative Pharmacology & Toxicology 92. p.201-203- Abstract
- 1. The amino acid l-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (l-DOPA) was extracted from tentacles of the sea anemone Metridium senile and from brains of the crayfish Pacifastacus leniuscuius.
2. The identity of l-DOPA was ascertained by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry as the heptafluorobutyryl iso-butyl ester derivative. Dopa is identified with GC-MS for the first time and the derivatization is a novel modification.
3. The results display a capability of invertebrate neurons to accumulate l-DOPA, the precursor of biogenic amines, like the biogenic amines themselves.
