Descrizione

Applicazioni

Entacapone has been used in high-performance bioaffinity chromatography.

Azioni biochim/fisiol

Entacapone acts predominantly in the intestine. It increases the bioavailability of levodopa. Levodopa is known to be associated with many complications such as motor fluctuations. COMT inhibitors have been used to overcome these adverse effects of levodopa by reducing its metabolism. Entacapone exhibits its inhibition action on COMT in the peripheral nervous system.

Entacapone is a catechol-O-methyl transferase (COMT) inhibitor. Used in treatment of Parkinson′s disease, entacapone is administered with L-DOPA to inihibit COMT from converting L-DOPA into a compound that cannot cross the blood brain barrier.
