Herein described are deuterated catecholamine derivatives of the general Formula (I) wherein R1 is deuterium, R2, and R3 are independently selected from hydrogen and deuterium and wherein at least one of R2 and R3 has a deuterium enrichment in the range from 0.02 mol % to 100 mol % deuterium, and wherein the deuterium enrichment of R2 and R3 is different from each other and that the difference between the deuterium enrichment of R2 and R3 is at least 5 percentage points, R4 is hydrogen, deuterium, C1 to C6-alkyl or C5 to C6-cycloalkyl, deuterated C1 to C6-alkyl or C5 to C6-cycloalkyl, or a group that is easily hydrolytically or enzymatically cleavable under physiological conditions, as well as their physiologically acceptable salts and their stereoisomers, enantiomeres or diastereomers in optically pure form. The compounds can easily be prepared by mixing deuterated and non-deuterated compounds in a predefined ratio. The compounds show anti-Parkinson effect at lower doses and show lower side effects.
