Dopamine-quinone is synthesized by oxidation of the catechol ring of dopamine. If this occurs within the neuronal cytosol, the quinone may react with cytosolic components, particularly cysteine residues. In contrast, if quinone is produced within neuronal lysosomes it may provide the fundamental building block for neuromelanin. Since the population of neurons that die in Parkinson’s disease are those that display obvious intralysosomal neuromelanin and since cytosolic dopamine-dependent…

5-S-cysteinyl-dopamine, a neurotoxic endogenous metabolite of dopamine: Implications for Parkinson's disease
The Oxidative Pathway to Dopamine–Protein Conjugates and Their Pro-Oxidant Activities: Implications for the Neurodegeneration of Parkinson’s Disease
TLDR
It is suggested that DA-protein conjugates produced in the brain possess pro-oxidant activities, which may cause neurodegeneration due to the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the depletion of antioxidants.
Kinetic and Structural Analysis of the Early Oxidation Products of Dopamine
TLDR
The results suggest that indole-5,6-quinone, rather than dopamine-o-quin one or aminochrome, is the reactive species, and it is proposed that the observed reactivity could represent a general reaction pathway whenever cysteinyl residues are absent in proteins or if they are sterically protected.
Molecular Markers of Dopamine Transport in Nigrostriatal Dopaminergic Neurons as an Index of Neurodegeneration and Neuroplasticity
TLDR
Degeneration of a larger number of DA-ergic neurons was followed by an increased content of VMAT2, which indicates an increase in vesicular storage and an even greater reduction in the risk of cytosolic accumulation of oxidized DA, which contributes to a decrease in cytosol accumulation of DA.
Unregulated Cytosolic Dopamine Causes Neurodegeneration Associated with Oxidative Stress in Mice
TLDR
The results provide the first in vivo evidence that chronic exposure to unregulated cytosolic dopamine alone is sufficient to cause neurodegeneration and suggest that pathology in genetically modified striatal neurons depends on their dopamine supply.
Dopamine- or L-DOPA-induced neurotoxicity: The role of dopamine quinone formation and tyrosinase in a model of Parkinson’s disease
TLDR
The double-edged synthesizing and oxidizing functions of tyrosinase in the dopaminergic system suggest its potential for application in the synthesis of DA, instead of TH in the degeneration of dopamine neurons, and in the normalization of abnormal DA turnover in long-term L-DOPA-treated Parkinson's disease patients.
Protective Actions of the Vesicular Monoamine Transporter 2 (VMAT2) in Monoaminergic Neurons
TLDR
VMAT2 provides neuroprotection from both endogenous and exogenous toxicants and that while VMAT2 has been adapted by eukaryotes for synaptic transmission, it is derived from phylogenetically ancient proteins that originally evolved for the purpose of cellular protection.
Interplay between Cytosolic Dopamine, Calcium, and α-Synuclein Causes Selective Death of Substantia Nigra Neurons
Complexity of dopamine metabolism
TLDR
This review highlights different aspects of dopamine metabolism in the context of PD and neurodegeneration by looking at DA biosynthesis, sequestration, degradation and oxidation chemistry at the metabolic level, as well as at the transcriptional, translational and posttranslational regulation of all enzymes involved.

Dopamine Quinone Formation and Protein Modification Associated with the Striatal Neurotoxicity of Methamphetamine: Evidence against a Role for Extracellular Dopamine
TLDR
It is likely that dopamine oxidation contributes to methamphetamine-induced toxicity to dopamine terminals, adding support to the role of dopamine and the evidence of oxidative stress in this lesion model.
Cytotoxic and genotoxic potential of dopamine
TLDR
Experimental evidence suggesting that dopamine quinone may contribute to the cytotoxic and genotoxic potential of this essential neurotransmitter is described.
Dopamine Neurotoxicity: Inhibition of Mitochondrial Respiration
TLDR
The results suggest that catecholamines can cause toxicity not only by inducing an oxidative stress state but also possibly through direct interaction with the mitochondrial electron transport system.

TLDR
The autoxidation, periodate oxidation, and tyrosinase-mediated oxidation of 6-hydroxydopamine, dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine were studied by absorption spectroscopy and gave evidence for a transient intermediate, the o -quinone, which rapidly tautomerized to the p-quinone.
Identification of Catechol‐Protein Conjugates in Neostriatal Slices Incubated with [3H]Dopamine: Impact of Ascorbic Acid and Glutathione
TLDR
It is suggested that dopamine oxidizes to form reactive metabolites, presumably quinones, that then bind to nucleophilic sulfhydryl groups on protein cysteinyl residues, and the extent to which reactive metabolites are formed is determined in part by the balance between the availability of dopamine and the antioxidant environment.
Iron-mediated generation of the neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine quinone by reaction of fatty acid hydroperoxides with dopamine: a possible contributory mechanism for neuronal degeneration in Parkinson's disease.
TLDR
Hydrogen peroxide proved as effective as linoleic acid hydroperoxide in inducing dopamine oxidation and conversion to 6-hydroxydopamine quinone, consistent with a hydroxyl radical independent hydroxyation/oxidation mechanism basically different from the Fenton reaction.

TLDR
Results suggest that the peroxidase activity of prostaglandin H synthase is responsible for catalyzing the oxidation of dopamine to reactive dopamine quinones, which may have implications for the development of Parkinson's disease.

Methamphetamine neurotoxicity involves vacuolation of endocytic organelles and dopamine-dependent intracellular oxidative stress
TLDR
It is found that MA is a vacuologenic weak base that induces swelling of endocytic compartments; MA also induces blebbing of the plasma membrane, which suggests that MA redistributes DA from the reducing environment within synaptic vesicles to extravesicular oxidizing environments, thus generating oxygen radicals and reactive metabolites within DA neurons that may trigger selective DA terminal loss.
