4 Drug and Medication Information
4.1 Drug Indication

Tyrosine is claimed to act as an effective antidepressant, however results are mixed. Tyrosine has also been claimed to reduce stress and combat narcolepsy and chronic fatigue, however these claims have been refuted by some studies.


5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
5.1 Pharmacology

Tyrosine is a nonessential amino acid synthesized in the body from phenylalanine. Tyrosine is critical for the production of the body's proteins, enzymes and muscle tissue. Tyrosine is a precursor to the neurotransmitters norepinephrine and dopamine. It can act as a mood elevator and an anti-depressant. It may improve memory and increase mental alertness. Tyrosine aids in the production of melanin and plays a critical role in the production of thyroxin (thyroid hormones). Tyrosine deficiencies are manifested by hypothyroidism, low blood pressure and low body temperature. Supplemental tyrosine has been used to reduce stress and combat narcolepsy and chronic fatigue.


5.2 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

Absorption

L-tyrosine is absorbed from the small intestine by a sodium-dependent active transport process.


Semi-chronic exposure of ICR male Mice to Aflatoxin B1 in non-toxic doses results in elevated lung tryptophan levels without change in serotonin or 5-hydroxyindole-3-acetic acid levels. This change is organ specific in that tryptophan levels are not altered in spleen, duodenum, heart or central nervous system. Acute (48 hr) flunixin treatment decreases lung tryptophan levels and reverses the Aflatoxin B1 mediated increase in lung tryptophan levels. On the other hand, flunixin treatment decreases central nervous system tryptophan levels in control mice but not in Aflatoxin B1 treated mice. Aflatoxin B1 treated mice have an increase in splenic serotonin content. Acute (48 hr) treatment of mice with E. coli lipopolysaccharide also increases splenic serotonin, and Aflatoxin B1 treatment followed by lipopolysaccharide have a slightly additive effect on spleen serotonin content. Treatment of mice with lipopolysaccharide increases heart serotonin, an effect which is not altered in Aflatoxin B1 pretreated mice. Both lipopolysaccharide and Aflatoxin B1 per se increases lung tyrosine levels although the combination of treatments is not significantly different from the control value. Flunixin treatment increases lung tyrosine levels, an effect which is not altered by Aflatoxin B1 pretreatment. Acute treatment with either lipopolysaccharide or flunixin decreases the central nervous system tryptophan/tyrosine ratio; pretreatment with Aflatoxin B1 prevents those changes in the central nervous system tryptophan/tyrosine ratio. Central nervous system catecholamines are reduced in Aflatoxin B1 pretreated mice. However, central nervous system catecholamine changes in Aflatoxin B1 treated mice are normalized by vitamin E supplementation during the treatment period.

Male Wistar rats were divided in free choice conditions into heavy-drinkers consuming greater than 3.5 g/kg of ethanol daily, and light-drinkers consuming less than 2.0 g/kg/day. Subsequent 30 day intragastric administration of 25% ethanol (8-11 g/kg/day) caused an increase in permeability of the blood brain barrier to 14(C)-tyrosine, 14(C)-tryptophan and 14(C)-DOPA at all the stages of alcoholization. All the changes were more pronounced in light-drinkers than in heavy- drinker rats. Disulfiram, and to a lesser extent phenazepam and diazepam, when repeatedly injected (for 16-30 days) together with ethanol aggravated its effects.

Effects of mercury chloride (100 uM) para-chloromercuribenzene sulfonate (1 uM), and oxophenylarsine (250 uM) were determined on (a) the rate of sodium pump activity in intact winter flounder intestine; (b) activity of sodium potassium ATPase in tissue homogenates; and (c) sodium-dependent and sodium independent uptake of tyrosine in brush border membrane vesicles. All three agents decreased cell potassium, although effects on cell potassium lagged behind those for inhibition of the ATPase. At the concentrations used in the Ussing chamber (or at one-tenth concentration), all agents completely inhibited sodium potassium ATPase activity in enzyme assays performed with tissue homogenates. In contrast, only mercury chloride decreased sodium dependent uptake of tyrosine by brush border membrane vesicles. These results suggest that mercurial and arsenical effects on tyrosine absorption are due to inhibition of the sodium potassium ATPase thus decreasing the driving force for the cellular uptake by the sodium tyrosine cotransport system. Direct effects on sodium tyrosine cotransport may play a role in the inhibition observed with mercury chloride, but not for para-chloromercuribenzene sulfonate or oxophenylarsine.

Female Sprague-Dawley rats were treated acutely (12-hr) with aflatoxin B1 (100 ug/kg ip) or vehicle (10% acetone in 0.9% sodium chloride) and regional brain levels of tryptophan, serotonin and tyrosine were assayed. Brainstem but not cerebellar or cortical tyrosine levels were decreased in aflatoxin B1-treated rats. Brain tryptophan was increased in all 3 brain regions by acute aflatoxin B1 treatment, while serotonin levels were unaltered in the cerebellum and cortex and decreased in the brainstem. These experiments indicate that acute aflatoxin B1 treatment differentially alters brain amino acids and serotonin and that changes in brain tryptophan, the serotonin precursor, do not parallel changes in brain serotonin.

5.3 Metabolism/Metabolites

In the liver, L-tyrosine is involved in a number of biochemical reactions, including protein synthesis and oxidative catabolic reactions. L-tyrosine that is not metabolized in the liver is distributed via the systemic circulation to the various tissues of the body.

Metabolism of tyrosine was impaired after chronic alcoholization of rats with 10% ethanol within 10 months. Within the first 3-4 months activation of tyrosine aminotransferase and a decrease in phenylalanine hydroxylase activity were found in liver tissue. Activity of tyrosine aminotransferase was not increased during the long term alcohol intoxication. At the same time, activity of tyrosine aminotransferase was decreased within 5-6 months simultaneously with activation of phenylalanine hydroxylase. An increase in the alcohol dehydrogenase activity was also observed in rat liver tissue during the initial period of intoxication. The enzymatic activity was decreased beginning from the 3-4 months of the alcoholization and maintained at the low level. Hyperthermia augmented these alterations observed in chronic alcoholization of rats.

Spontaneous behavior subsequent to acute oral administration of high doses of aspartame, phenylalanine, or tyrosine was analyzed using a computer pattern recognition system. Spraque Dawley male rats (250-300 g) were dosed orally with aspartame (500 or 100 mg/kg), phenylalanine (281 or 562 mg/kg), or tyrosine (309 or 618 mg/kg), and their behavior was analyzed 1 hr after dosing. The computer pattern recognition system recorded and classifed 13 different behavioral acts performed by the animals during the first 15-min exploration of a novel environment. These doses of aspartame, phenylalanine, and tyrosine did not induce any significant changes in spontaneous behavior. Unlike low doses of amphetamine and despite high plasma concentrations of phenylalanine and tyrosine, no behavioral alteration was detected by the computer pattern recognition system.

5.4 Mechanism of Action

Tyrosine is produced in cells by hydroxylating the essential amino acid phenylalanine. This relationship is much like that between cysteine and methionine. Half of the phenylalanine required goes into the production of tyrosine; if the diet is rich in tyrosine itself, the requirements for phenylalanine are reduced by about 50%. The mechanism of L-tyrosine's antidepressant activity can be accounted for by the precursor role of L-tyrosine in the synthesis of the neurotransmitters norepinephrine and dopamine. Elevated brain norepinephrine and dopamine levels are thought to be associated with antidepressant effects.
