Tác dụng
Description: Tolcapone is a selective, reversible peripheral inhibitor of catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT), an enzyme responsible for the breakdown of levodopa and dopamine. Its inhibition allows more levodopa to reach the brain, leading to enhanced dopaminergic activity.
Pharmacokinetics: Absorption: Rapidly absorbed from the GI tract. Food delays and decreases the absorption. Absolute bioavailability: Approx 65%. Time to peak plasma concentration: W/in 2 hr. Distribution: Volume of distribution: 9 L. Plasma protein binding: >99%, mainly to albumin. Metabolism: Extensively metabolised in the liver, mainly via conjugation into inactive glucuronide; methylation by COMT into 3-O-methyltolcapone; and by CYP450 isoenzymes CYP3A4 and CYP2A6. Excretion: Mainly via urine (approx 60% as metabolites; 0.5% as unchanged drug); faeces (40%). Elimination half-life: Approx 2-3 hr. |
