摘要: Abstract Alpha-methyldopa melanin was produced by oxidation of α-methyldopa in an alkaline medium. The progression the and its susceptibility to interruption chelation with borate ion were investigated. oxidative product resulting from this shown be macromolecular dimensions, unable further incorporate 14C-labeled alpha-methyldopa, resistant oxidation, soluble for extended periods time.
