672-87-7C[C@](N)(Cc1ccc(O)cc1)C(=O)ONHTGHBARYWONDQ-JTQLQIEISA-NAlpha-methyl-L-tyrosine is an L-tyrosine derivative that consists of L-tyrosine bearing an additional methyl substituent at position 2. An inhibitor of the enzyme tyrosine 3-monooxygenase, and consequently of the synthesis of catecholamines. It is used to control the symptoms of excessive sympathetic stimulation in patients with pheochromocytoma. It has a role as an antihypertensive agent and an EC 1.14.16.2 (tyrosine 3-monooxygenase) inhibitor. It is a L-tyrosine derivative and a non-proteinogenic L-alpha-amino acid.

In patients with pheochromocytoma, who produce excessive amounts of norepinephrine and epinephrine, administration of one to four grams of metyrosine per day has reduced catecholamine biosynthesis from about 35 to 80 percent as measured by the total excretion of catecholamines and their metabolites (metanephrine and vanillylmandelic acid). The maximum biochemical effect usually occurs within two to three days, and the urinary concentration of catecholamines and their metabolites usually returns to pretreatment levels within three to four days after metyrosine is discontinued. Most patients with pheochromocytoma treated with metyrosine experience decreased frequency and severity of hypertensive attacks with their associated headache, nausea, sweating, and tachycardia. In patients who respond, blood pressure decreases progressively during the first two days of therapy with metyrosine; after withdrawal, blood pressure usually increases gradually to pretreatment values within two to three days.
Metyrosine inhibits tyrosine hydroxylase, which catalyzes the first transformation in catecholamine biosynthesis, i.e., the conversion of tyrosine to dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA). Because the first step is also the rate-limiting step, blockade of tyrosine hydroxylase activity results in decreased endogenous levels of catecholamines and their synthesis. This consequently, depletes the levels of the catecholamines dopamine, adrenaline and noradrenaline in the body,usually measured as decreased urinary excretion of catecholamines and their metabolites. One main end result of the catecholamine depletion is a decrease in blood presure.

VerwendenA tyrosine hydroxylase inhibitor. An antihypertensive in pheochromocytoma
VerwendenMetyrosine is the α-methyl derivative of tyrosine. It competitively inhibits tyrosine hydroxylase action, thus reducing the formation of epinephrine and norepinephrine. It is used for treating patients with pheochromocytoma, in cases where a rise in the level of catecholamines is observed.
