Design, synthesis and evaluation of 3-hydroxypyridin-4-ones as inhibitors of catechol-O-methyltransferase
(Springer, 2020)The most effective treatment of Parkinson’s disease is restoring central dopamine levels with levodopa, the metabolic precursor of dopamine. However, due to extensive peripheral metabolism by aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase ... -
Evaluation of selected natural compounds as dual inhibitors of catechol-o-methyltransferase and monoamine oxidase
(Bentham Science, 2019)Background: The most effective symptomatic treatment of Parkinson’s disease remains the metabolic precursor of dopamine, L-dopa. To enhance the efficacy of L-dopa, it is often combined with inhibitors of the enzymes, ... -
Nitrocatechol derivatives of chalcone as inhibitors of monoamine oxidase and Catechol-O-Methyltransferase
(Bentham Science, 2018)Introduction: The efficacy of L-dopa in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease depends on its metabolic conversion to dopamine in the brain, however extensive peripheral metabolism of L-dopa diminishes its availability for ...
