General description

Benserazide is a peripheral decarboxylase inhibitor.

Application

Benserazide has been used:
  • to inhibit dopa-decarboxylase
  • to induce dyskinesia
  • to test on purified bacterial TDCs to assess the extent to which it could affect bacterial decarboxylases
  • as a peripheral dopa decarboxylase inhibitor to treat mice

Biochem/physiol Actions

Benserazide can block HK2 enzymatic activity in vitro. It is used along with levodopa to treat Parkinson′s disease.
Inhibitor of L-aromatic amino acid decarboxylase.
