Dopastin is a chemical compound produced by the bacteria Pseudomonas No. BAC-125.[2] It was first isolated and characterized in 1972. It is an inhibitor of the enzyme dopamine β-hydroxylase.[3]

Dopastin can be prepared synthetically from L-valinol.[4]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
