Introduction
- COMT responsible for degradation of catchol neurotransmitters including DA
- PD symptoms result from low levels of DA
- inhibiting COMT has potential to treat PD in conjunction with L-DOPA (a DA precursor currently used to treat PD) by increasing the bioavailability and stability of L-DOPA
- 4PCM is a COMT inhibitor being studied to better understand inhibitor interactions with COMT in order to develop better inhibitors
- carbonyl oxygen of 4PCM interacts with
