Several drugs with a catechol moiety were studied for their potency to inhibit tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) from PC-12 cells in vitro. When the natural compounds tested were compared, dopamine, norepinephrine and 2(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-ethanol (DOPET) were most effective (IC50 between 1.4 and 3.6 .mu.m with 0.5 .mu.M 6(R,S)-L-erythro-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobiopterin as cofactor). DOPA (IC50: 35 .mu.M) and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC; IC50: 180 .mu.M were less potent inhibitors. Among the synthetic drugs possessing catechol moiety, isoproterenol, (.+-.)-2-amino-6,7-dihydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene (6,7-ADTN) and (.+-.)-2-dimethylamino-6,7-dihydroxy-tetrahydronaphthalene (TL-99) had the same inhibitory effects as the natural catecholamines (IC50 between 1.6 and 3.9 .mu.M), whereas the apomorphine derivatives and 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1-phenyl-1 H-3-benzazepine and 7,8-diol (SKF 38393) were even more potent (IC50: 0.5-0.8 .mu.M). These results demonstrate that natural catechols and certain drugs (e.g. 6,7-ADTN, TL-99 SKF 38393) are more effective direct blockers of tyrosine hydroxylase than generally assumed provided appropriate assay conditions are used. In the case of dopamine and norepinephrine, these findings suggest a reevaluation of their role for feedback control of tyrosine hydroxylase in vivo.
