Metirosine

An inhibitor of catecholamine synthesis (dopamine, noradrenaline, adrenaline), approved in the United States in 1979 to prepare patients with phaeochromocytoma, a tumour that overproduces them, for surgery. This family brings together the active ingredient, labelled standards and other impurities.

Did you know?The name says it all: it is tyrosine with an extra methyl group. It resembles the natural amino acid so closely that it blocks tyrosine hydroxylase, the first enzyme in the chain leading to catecholamines.
