lactoferrin
bovine lactoferrin binds to and inhibits COMT using its N-terminal region. A fragment of the lactoferrin N-terminal residues 6-50, with two pairs of disulfide bonds, shows higher inhibitory activity than intact lactoferrin. Lactoferrin does not compete with S-adenosylmethionine. COMT activity in the cell extracts form Caco-2 and HepG2 cells is inhibited by lactoferrin and the N-terminal fragment

IC50: 0.0085 mM with 2-hydroxyestradiol or 4-hydroxyestradiol as substrate
quercetin

blocks the methoxylation of catechol estrogens, with concomitant 3fold to 4fold increases in the levels of the depurinating adducts. Low activity of COMT leads to higher levels of depurinating estrogen-DNA adducts that can induce mutations and initiate cancer

-
depressed COMT activity results in enhanced mechanical and thermal pain sensitivity

i.e. 1-methyl-6,7-dimethoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline, competitive inhibition of 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid methylation
tolcapone
-
possibility of genotype-targeted pharmacology for the treatment of cognitive dysfunction associated with schizophrenia. Even though tolcapone has proved useful in this regard, its hepatotoxicity proscribes its wide-spread use. The development of COMT inhibitors that can permeate the blood-brain barrier effectively and are devoid of serious adverse effects will allow expansion of the search for more specific, selective and effective therapies for the treatment of cognitive disorders
tolcapone
-
tolcapone increases significantly the cytotoxic effect of high dose UVB irradiation in HaCat cells. High concentrations of tolcapone reduce melanin levels in melanoma cells parallel to reduced cell numbers
tolcapone
-
strongly inhibits the formation of 3-methylsalvianolic acid B in vitro and in vivo, without any change in its plasma concentration. Tolcapone significantly increases the cumulative bile excretion of salvianolic acid from 3% to 40% in the rat
-
COMT activity appears unaffected by loss of the dopaminergic nigrostriatal pathway and levodopa treatment
-
additional information
-
substrate inhibition is dependent on the concentration of S-adenosylmethionine and MgCl2
-
additional information
-
activity of the enzyme is strongly influenced by the nature of the buffer

role of COMT inhibitors in Parkinsons disease as a new therapeutic approach to Parkinsons disease involving conversion of levodopa to dopamine at the target region in the brain and facilitation of the continuous action of this amine at the receptor sites. A historical overview of the discovery and development of COMT inhibitors is presented with a special emphasis on nebicapone, presently under clinical development, as well as entacapone and tolcapone, which are already approved as adjuncts in the therapy of Parkinsons disease. This article reviews human pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of these drugs as well as their clinical efficacy and safety
