RO-4-4602, a peripheral L-DOPA decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.28) inhibitor was shown to also inhibit the activity of catechol O-methyltransferase (COMT) (EC 2.1.1.6). Kinetic study indicated that the inhibition is of a competitive nature. The apparent Ki values of 7 X 10(6), 5.3 X 10(-6, and 9 X 10-6) M calculated from Lineweaver-Burke plots when dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine, respectively, were used as substrate, showed that this drug is the most potent inhibitor of COMT yet known.
RO-4-4602,一种外周L-多巴脱羧酶(EC 4.1.1.28)抑制剂,已被证明还能抑制儿茶酚-O-甲基转移酶(COMT)(EC 2.1.1.6)的活性。动力学研究表明,这种抑制作用具有竞争性。当分别以多巴胺、去甲肾上腺素和肾上腺素作为底物,根据Lineweaver-Burke图计算得出的表观Ki值分别为7×10⁻⁶、5.3×10⁻⁶和9×10⁻⁶ M,这表明该药物是目前已知的最有效的COMT抑制剂。
