1996	Invention patented by Hui-Po Wang, Jia-Shuai Lee, Ming-Cheng Tsai, Hsiao-Hwa Lu, Oliver Yoa-Pu Hu, and Wen-Lin Luo on February 15th, 1996. Abstract: A series of di- and tri-peptide mimetic dopamine prodrugs are synthesized in which D-phenylglycine or D-p-hydroxyphenylglycine is attached as tools for delivery of L-dopa through the intestine via the intestinal dipeptide-mediated carrier transport system. These compounds are found useful as an active ingredient for the treatment of Parkinson's disease.
