Tolcapone (T) is a novel catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitor recently introduced for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. In clinical efficacy studies, T has been associated with a low incidence of diarrhea. The objectives of the study were to examine whether T and its adjunctive drug

Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitors are a new therapeutic option in the treatment of patients with Parkinson's disease. COMT inhibitors act by extending the duration of action of levodopa, thus improving the amount of time a patient can experience benefit from levodopa. COMT inhibitors

Tolcapone is a catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitor that has shown efficacy in the treatment of Parkinson's disease. The authors undertook the first study on the efficacy of this COMT inhibitor in the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD). The authors also wanted to assess the

BACKGROUND
More than 50% of patients with Parkinson's disease develop motor response fluctuations (the "wearing off" phenomenon) after more than five years of levodopa therapy. Inhibition of catechol-O-methyltransferase by tolcapone has been shown to increase levodopa bioavailability and plasma

Opicapone is a new catechol O-methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitor indicated for use as adjunct to levodopa therapy in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and motor fluctuations.To characterize the safety and tolerability of adjunct opicapone (25 and 50

Tolcapone is a catechol-ortho-methyl-tranferase (COMT) inhibitor that increases the L-DOPA half-life and the duration of effect in Parkinson's disease. We investigated the effect of tolcapone on the plasma catecholamine levels. We measured plasma catecholamines 2h after the first daily dose of

The development of catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitors for the adjunct treatment to levodopa and aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) inhibitors in Parkinson's disease started in the late 1950s. The first-generation inhibitors were associated with toxic properties: they induced

OBJECTIVE
To summarize the development, pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, efficacy, and safety of five investigational antiparkinsonian drugs that are in or have recently completed Phase III trials: three dopamine agonists, pramipexole, ropinirole, and cabergoline; and two catechol-O-methyltransferase

Recent prospective, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials have examined the long-term effects of the catechol-O-methyl transferase (COMT) inhibitors entacapone and tolcapone as adjuncts to levodopa in PD patients with wearing-off motor fluctuations. These studies demonstrate that both tolcapone

The COMT inhibitors, tolcapone and entacapone, are a new class of Parkinson's medications. By inhibiting the enzyme catechol-o-methyl-transferase (COMT), they prevent peripheral degradation of levodopa, allowing a higher concentration to cross the blood-brain barrier. Pharmacokinetic studies have

BACKGROUND
Several polymorphisms have been reported to be associated with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), including C825T, the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), responsible for a truncated G protein β3 subunit (GNβ3), and the Vall158Met substitution in catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT). We

Two inhibitors of catechol-O-methyl transferase (COMT), tolcapone and entacapone, have recently been introduced as adjuncts to levodopa in the treatment of Parkinson's disease patients. Both have been shown to provide PD patients with increased "on" time, decreased "off" time, and improved motor
