3-O-methyldopa (3-OMD) is a metabolite of L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA), a drug used for the treatment of Parkinson's disease patients. 3-OMD is formed by catechol-O-methyltransferase. 3-OMD may be responsible for the side effects of L-DOPA.

Route of Administration: Other
The number of tyrosine hydroxylase-positive dopaminergic neurons was not affected by L-DOPA treatment in mesencephalic neurons alone. However, the increase in viability of dopaminergic neurons in the presence of astrocytes was further enhanced after methyl-L-DOPA treatment (25 µM) in mixed cultured mesencephalic neurons and striatal astrocytes. The neuroprotective effect of 25 µM L-DOPA was almost completely inhibited by simultaneous treatment with 3-O-methyl-DOPA (10 or 100 µM).
