Application
Ro 41-0960 has been used as an inhibitor of catechol-O-methyl-transferase in synaptosome membrane preparations and 3T3-L1 adipocytes. It has also been used as a catechol-O-methyl-transferase inhibitor to treat corpus striatum samples to test its effect on dopamine metabolism.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Ro 41-0960 is a specific and synthetic inhibitor of the enzyme catechol-O-methyl-transferase (COMT). It binds to the catalytic site and triggers the inhibition of the methylation property of COMT. Ro 41-0960 is effective on uterine leiomyoma lesions and uterine fibroids.

The development of medications to treat cocaine use disorders has thus far defied success, leaving this patient population without pharmacotherapeutic options. As the dopamine transporter (DAT) plays a prominent role in the reinforcing effects of cocaine that can lead to

3-Nitropyrocatechols are very potent and selective inhibitors of catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT). LD50 values of three of these compounds were assessed after intraperitoneal administration with a special emphasis on interactions with drugs increasing catecholaminergic neurotransmission. LD50 values of the inhibitors varied from

A high-throughput, competitive fluorescence polarization immunoassay has been developed for the detection of methyltransferase activity. The assay was designed to detect S-adenosylhomocysteine (AdoHcy), a product of all S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet)-utilizing methyltransferase reactions. We employed commercially available anti-AdoHcy antibody and fluorescein-AdoHcy conjugate

The effects of three new catechol O-methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitors (nitecapone, entacapone and Ro 41-0960) were assessed on brain neurochemistry and psychomotor tests in levodopa/carbidopa-treated rats and mice. In neurochemical studies in rats, neither nitecapone (3 mg/kg) nor Ro 41-0960 (3

Cocaine is a widely abused substance with psychostimulant effects that are attributed to inhibition of the dopamine transporter (DAT). We present molecular models for DAT binding of cocaine and cocaine analogs constructed from the high-resolution structure of the bacterial transporter
