Biochem/physiol Actions
Nitecapone is a short-acting inhibitor of catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT).
Nitecapone is a short-acting inhibitor of catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT). Nitecapone displays in vivo activity in peripheral tissues, but does not pentrate the blood brain barrier. The compound increases mechanical and thermal nociception, and reduces neuropathic pain in diabetic rats and in a spinal nerve ligation model.

We tested the hypothesis that recognized gastroprotective agents exert direct protection against ethanol-induced injury in isolated rat gastric mucosal cells in vitro. If protection exists, we also wanted to identify subcellular targets in the reversible and/or irreversible stages of cell

The recruitment of G protein-coupled receptors from the cytoplasm to the plasma membrane generally is believed to be a constitutive process. We show here by the use of both confocal microscopy and subcellular fractionation that, for at least one such

The efficacy of levo-DOPA in the treatment of Parkinson's disease is potentiated by blockade of its peripheral metabolism with inhibitors of catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT). Some COMT inhibitors may act entirely in the periphery (nitecapone, OR-462), while others may also have some

The development and progression of diabetic nephropathy is dependent on glucose homeostasis and many other contributing factors. In the present study, we examined the effect of nitecapone, an inhibitor of the dopamine-metabolizing enzyme catechol-O-methyl transferase (COMT) and a potent antioxidant
