N-acetyldopamine (NADA) is a catecholamine that is used by insects as sclerotizing precursors to harden their cuticle[1]. | [Definition]
ChEBI: N-acetyldopamine is a secondary carboxamide obtained by formal condensation of the carboxy group of acetic acid with the amino group of dopamine. A dopamine metabolite. It has a role as a human urinary metabolite and a marine metabolite. It is a secondary carboxamide, a member of acetamides, a member of catechols and a N-(fatty acyl)-dopamine. It is functionally related to a dopamine. | [IC 50]
