Difference between Neurotoxin and Oxidopamine

Neurotoxin vs. Oxidopamine

Neurotoxins are toxins that are poisonous or destructive to nerve tissue (causing neurotoxicity). Oxidopamine, also known as 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) or 2,4,5-trihydroxyphenethylamine, is a neurotoxic synthetic organic compound used by researchers to selectively destroy dopaminergic and noradrenergic neurons in the brain.

Similarities between Neurotoxin and Oxidopamine

Neurotoxin and Oxidopamine have 5 things in common (in Unionpedia): Dopamine, MPTP, Parkinson's disease, Parkinsonism, Substantia nigra.

Dopamine

Dopamine (DA, a contraction of 3,4-dihydroxyphenethylamine) is an organic chemical of the catecholamine and phenethylamine families that plays several important roles in the brain and body.

MPTP

MPTP (1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine) is a prodrug to the neurotoxin MPP+, which causes permanent symptoms of Parkinson's disease by destroying dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra of the brain.
