1
UNII CIF6334OLY - TOLCAPONE
 

Tolcapone is an orally active, selective and reversible catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitor. Administered concomitantly with levodopa and an aromatic amino acid decarboxylase inhibitor (AADC-I), it leads to more stable plasma levels of levodopa by reducing metabolism of levodopa to 3-methoxy-4-hydroxy-L-phenylalanine (3-OMD). High levels of plasma 3-OMD have been associated with poor response to levodopa in Parkinson’s disease patients.
