Active Ingredient Description
Opicapone

Opicapone is a peripheral, selective and reversible catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitor endowed with a high binding affinity (sub-picomolar). Opicapone is indicated as adjunctive therapy to preparations of levodopa/DOPA decarboxylase inhibitors (DDCI) in adult patients with Parkinson’s disease, leading to an increase of levodopa plasma levels thereby improving the clinical response to levodopa.
