Description

General description

Benserazide is a peripheral decarboxylase inhibitor.

Application

Benserazide has been used:

• to inhibit dopa-decarboxylase
• to induce dyskinesia
• to test on purified bacterial TDCs to assess the extent to which it could affect bacterial decarboxylases
• as a peripheral dopa decarboxylase inhibitor to treat mice

Biochem/physiol Actions

Benserazide can block HK2 enzymatic activity in vitro. It is used along with levodopa to treat Parkinson′s disease.

Inhibitor of L-aromatic amino acid decarboxylase.
