Abstract

Increasing concentrations of dopamine fail to give a biphasic response to (Na+ + K+)-ATPase activity in various subcellular fractions of rat brain preincubated with monoamine oxidase inhibitors, viz. 1·10-4 M clorgyline and 1·10-4 M deprenyl. The product of the monoamine-oxidase-catalysed reaction with dopamine as substrate is 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylacetaldehyde. An analogue of this product is 3-methoxy-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde. This analogue, when incubated with the subcellular fractions which had been preincubated with monoamine oxidase inhibitors and dopamine, gave a more pronounced biphasic response to (Na+ + K+)-ATPase activity than that observed in the fractions incubated with dopamine alone.
