Application
Entacapone: A Selective and Reversible Inhibitor of Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT)
Entacapone and tolcapone [T3856] are selective and reversible inhibitors of catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) which is one of several enzymes that degrade catecholamines (such as L-DOPA [D0600], dopamine [A0305], L-epinephrine [A0173], and norepinephrine [A0906]).1,2) COMT catalyzes the transfer of the methyl group of S-adenosyl-L-methionine to the phenolic group of substrates that contain a catechol structure including catecholamines. Entacapone and tolcapone cross the blood-brain barrier and can inhibit both peripheral and central COMT activity. Therefore, it has been suggested that entacapone and tolcapone prolong the biological half-life of L-DOPA and the therapeutic effect of L-DOPA for Parkinson's disease patients. Indeed, entacapone is currently in wide clinical use, while tolcapone can be used in restricted indications only, due to its hepatotoxicity.3) (The product is for research purpose only.)
