entacapone sodium

Entacapone sodium salt inhibits catechol-O-methyltransferase(COMT) with similar IC50 in different tissues including live, duodenum, kidney and lung, but entacapone is more active than tolcapone in those tissues. Entacapone (< 100 μM) is a potent inhibitor of α-syn and β-amyloid (Aβ) oligomerization and fibrillogenesis, and also protects against extracellular toxicity induced by the aggregation of both proteins in PC12 cells.Entacapone sodium salt is a specific, potent, peripherally acting catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitor with IC50 of 151 nM for PD treatment.

Entacapone 是一种有效且特异性的外周儿茶酚-O-甲基转移酶 （COMT） 抑制剂，其IC50值为151 nM。Entacapone也是一种潜在的肥胖相关基因 （FTO）抑制剂，可以抑制FTO 去甲基化活性并应用于代谢疾病的研究。

cis-Entacapone is a metabolite of the catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitor entacapone. It is also a potential impurity found in commercial preparations of entacapone and a degradant of entacapone formed by UV light exposure.
