DopAmide, or L-DopAmide, is a synthetic levodopa (L-DOPA) analogue that can serve as a levodopa and dopamine prodrug and is of potential interest in the treatment of Parkinson's disease.[1][2][3] DopAmide has an amide rather than the carboxyl group of L-DOPA,[2][3] which imparts greater water solubility.[1][2][3] The amide is hydrolyzed back to the acid by aminopeptidase enzymes.[1][2][3]
