L-dopa is a precursor to dopamine and is used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease. In the central nervous system, L-dopa crosses the blood-brain barrier and is converted into dopamine by dopa decarboxylase in the brain. This helps to increase dopamine levels in the brain, which can alleviate the motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease.
