CATECHOLAMINE-DRUG INTERACTIONS IN MAN}, volume = {18}, number = {1}, pages = {673--683}, year = {1966}, publisher = {American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics}, abstract = {This is a review of studies in man with various compounds which inhibit enzymatic reactions involved in the synthesis and metabolism of NE. Emphasis is given to techniques for measurement of enzyme inhibition in man and the relationship between inhibition of a given enzyme and concurrent pharmacologic effects. Such a relationship seems established with the MAO inhibitors, is lacking in the case of decarboxylase inhibitors though one of these (α-methyl-dopa) is a useful drug, and seems likely with tyrosine hydroxylase inhibitors. Data are presented indicating that significant inhibition of catecholamine synthesis in man has been achieved with a compound of the latter type, α-methyl-p-tyrosine.}, issn = {0031-6997}, URL = {https://pharmrev.aspetjournals.org/content/18/1/673}, eprint = {https://pharmrev.aspetjournals.org/content/18/1/673.full.pdf}, journal = {Pharmacological Reviews} }
