With the aid of gas chromatography and mass spectrometry a metabolite of dopa, 3-methoxytyrosine, has been demonstrated in the urine of 2 patients with melanoma metastases, the amounts excreted being 4.0 mg and 8.5 mg/24 hours, respectively. 3-Methoxytyrosine could not with certainty be identified in the urines of two normal subjects.
