High impact information on COMT

  • The applicability of the method was demonstrated by the characterization of COMT activity-time courses in human erythrocytes after oral administration of the COMT inhibitor tolcapone [1].
  • The method is based on the COMT-mediated O-methylation of 4-(naphtho [1,2-d] thiazol-2-yl) pyrocatechol, the product of which was determined fluorometrically [1].
  • The relative rate of different routes of disposition of catecholamines was in the following order: for (-)-NE COMT greater than or equal to MAO greater than or equal to U2 greater than U1, for (-)-Epi U2 greater than or equal to COMT greater than MAO greater than U1 [2].
