Apexbio Technology LLC Tolcapone 134308-13-7 10mM (in 1mL DMSO)
Supplier: Apexbio Technology LLC A43835.1
Tolcapone (CAS 134308-13-7) is an orally bioavailable reversible small-molecule inhibitor targeting catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) Acting through competitive inhibition tolcapone structurally incorporates a catechol moiety with electron-withdrawing substituents facilitating anionic formation that binds potently to COMT s catalytic site (reported IC50 of approximately 36 nM in rat liver assays) By competitively occupying this active site tolcapone prevents the enzymatic methylation of endogenous catechols such as levodopa thus prolonging levodopa s bioavailability Tolcapone is primarily investigated as adjunctive therapeutic agent in Parkinson s disease research enabling reduced levodopa dosage while enhancing symptomatic control
