EXPLORING DOPAMINE SILVER NANOPARTICLES: SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION OVER NEUROCHEMISTRY
Saroja R.*, Priyadharshini D., Sathish Kumar A. and Niraimathi V.
ABSTRACT
This study explores the synthesis and characterization of dopamine silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) along with the analysis of dopamine's properties and degradation pathways. Dopamine, a crucial neurotransmitter in the brain, undergoes degradation facilitated by enzymes, yielding homovanillic acid (HVA) as the primary end-product. Despite its significance, challenges persist in estimating brain dopamine activity due to overlapping metabolism with norepinephrine, particularly in schizophrenia research. Dopamine degradation involves enzymatic oxidation and direct reaction with oxygen, potentially contributing to cell loss in neurological disorders. The dopamine system's regulation and transportation into synaptic vesicles are governed by common mechanisms shared among neurotransmitters. The study introduces a novel synthesis method for dopamine silver nanoparticles, characterized using UV-Vis spectroscopy, scanning Keywords: Dopamine, Silver nanoparticles, Dimethoxyphenethylamine, Characterization, Homovanillic acid.
