Associations of Comtan with other chemical compounds

  • This paper reviews the issue of hepatotoxicity with the use of the catechol-O-methly transferase (COMT) inhibitors tolcapone and entacapone [24].
  • In contrast, l-DOPA or the dopamine-metabolizing enzyme inhibitor entacapone suppressed low-salt-induced cortical COX-2 expression [25].
  • Our models propose that increasing steric volume of e.g. the diethylamine tail of entacapone is favourable for COMT inhibitory activity [26].
  • The FDOPA accumulation, expressed as striatal-to-occipital ratios and modified decarboxylation coefficients (k3R0), increased significantly after entacapone + selegiline administration in all subject populations [27].
  • METHODS: In a randomized, double-blind, two-way cross-over study, 12 healthy subjects (gender ratio 1 : 1) received treatment for 1 week with either entacapone 200 mg four times daily or placebo during individually optimized treatment with warfarin (INR 1.4-1.8) [14].
 

Gene context of Comtan

  • The COMT inhibitors entacapone and tolcapone are rapidly metabolized in vivo, mainly by glucuronidation [28].
  • However, UGT1A1 was the only UGT capable of catalyzing the formation of two glucuronides of the catecholic entacapone [28].
  • Neither entacapone nor tolcapone was glucuronidated by UGT1A6 [28].
  • The kinetic data illustrates that UGT1A9 exhibited a much greater rate of glucuronidation and a far lower K(m) value for both entacapone and tolcapone than UGT2B15 and UGT2B7 whose contribution is minor by comparison [28].
  • In 2 well conducted trials of 6 months' duration and smaller short term studies, treatment with entacapone (200 mg with each dose of levodopa/AADC inhibitor) was associated with significant increases in daily 'on' time and decreases in 'off' time [2].
