L-DOPS (L-threo-dihydroxyphenylserine; Droxidopa; SM-5688) is a psychoactive drug and synthetic amino acid precursor which acts as a prodrug to the neurotransmitters norepinephrine (noradrenaline) and epinephrine (adrenaline). Unlike norepinephrine and epinephrine themselves, L-DOPS is capable of crossing the protective blood-brain barrier (BBB).
