Antioxidant and neuroprotective properties of N-docosahexaenoyl dopamine.

AbstractN-Docosahexaenoyl dopamine exhibited antioxidant activity in the test with a stable oxygen radical galvinoxyl. This compound produced a dose-dependent protective effect on cultured granular cells from rat cerebellum under conditions of oxidative stress. N-Docosahexaenoyl dopamine decelerated the development of symptoms of Parkinson's disease in mice receiving neurotoxin 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine.
