Abstract

The inhibitory effects of (1R, 9S)- and (1S, 9R)-enantiomers of $\beta$-hydrastine (BHS) on dopamine biosynthesis in PC12 cells were investigated. (1R, 9S)-BHS decreased the intracellular dopamine content with the $IC_{50}$ value of 14.3 $\mu\textrm{M}$ at 24 h, but (1S, 9R)-BHS did not. In these conditions, (1R, 9S)-BHS inhibited TH activity mainly in a concentration-dependent manner(33% inhibition at 20 $\mu\textrm{M}$) and decreased TH mRNA level. (omitted)
