3-O-Methyldopa monohydrate (3-Methoxy-L-tyrosine monohydrate) is a significant metabolite of L-DOPA produced through the action of catechol O-methyltransferase (COMT). Unlike its precursor, 3-O-Methyldopa does not serve as a substrate or inhibitor of L-amino acid decarboxylase activity. Additionally, the inhibition of COMT can amplify the anti-Parkinson effects of L-DOPA.
