Bioactivity | Dopaminechrome (DACHR), an oxidation product of dopamine (HY-B0451), can facilitate the generation of H2O2 at brain mitochondrial complex I in a concentration- and respiration-dependent manner. Dopaminechrome possesses neurotoxicity and can be utilized in research on Parkinson's disease[1][2]. |
