title: Hyperpolarization of amino acid precursors to neurotransmitters with parahydrogen induced polarization.
abstract: Several important neurotransmitter precursors were hyperpolarized via homogeneous hydrogenation with parahydrogen. Polarization enhancement was achieved for (1)H and (13)C spins by several orders of magnitude compared to thermal spectra. Such large signal enhancements of these molecules could facilitate neurotransmitter studies.
