Abstract
It was shown that dopamine amides of arachidonic, oleic, and docosahexaenoic acids exhibit toxicity with respect to PC12 pheochromocytoma cell line. The mechanism of realization of the cytotoxic effect of acyl dopamines is the induction of oxidative stress. This event is preceded by triggering the synthesis of nitric oxide.
