Tolcapone Chemische Eigenschaften,Einsatz,Produktion Methoden

• Beschreibung

  Tolcapone (134308-13-7) is a catechol O-methyltransferase inhibitor (COMT), inhibiting both brain and peripheral enzymes.1Potent inhibitor of alpha-synuclein and beta-amyloid oligomerization and fibrillogenesis protecting against extracellular toxicity.2Binds to transthyretin (TTR) with high affinity (21 to 58 nM) and inhibits TTR aggregation in human plasma and prevents TTR-induced cytotoxicityin vitro. Stabilizes TTR in mice and humansin vivo.3Inhibits O-methylation of exogenous polyphenols such as EGCG.4Cell permeable. Orally bioavailable.

• Chemische Eigenschaften

  Yellow Solid

• Originator

  Tasmar,Roche

• Verwenden

  Orally active inhibitor of central and peripheral catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT). Antiparkinsonian

• Verwenden

  Tolcapone may be used in COMT-mediated cell signaling studies.
  Tolcapone has been used in methyltransferase assay in human embryonic kidney 293 cells.

• Definition

  ChEBI: Tolcapone is benzophenone substituted on one of the phenyl rings at C-3 and C-4 by hydroxy groups and at C-5 by a nitro group, and on the other phenyl ring by a methyl group at C-4. It is an inhibitor of catechol O-methyltransferase. It has a role as an EC 2.1.1.6 (catechol O-methyltransferase) inhibitor and an antiparkinson drug. It is a member of benzophenones, a member of 2-nitrophenols and a member of catechols.

• synthetische

  preparation by demethylation of 4-hydroxy-3-methoxy-4′-methyl-5-nitrobenzophenone with hydrobromic acid in refluxing aque-ous acetic acid.

• Manufacturing Process

  Condensation of 4-benzyloxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde with 4-lithium-toluene (prepared from 4-bromotoluene and butyl lithium) leads to the corresponding benzhydrole. Oxidation of the new formed hydroxyl in benzhydrole gives the 4-benzyloxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-p-tolylmethanone. Treatment of this compound with hydrogen bromide selectively removes the benzyl ether that is additionally activated by the transannular carbonyl group. The intermediate is then nitrated under standart conditions to give the (4-hydroxy-3-methoxy-5- nitrophenyl)-p-tolylmethanone. A second treatment of the last compound with hydrogen bromide cleaves the ether group, which is now activated by the adjacent nitro group. This last step affords the (3,4-dihydroxy-5-nitrophenyl)(4-methylphenyl)methanone.

• Therapeutic Function

  Antiparkinsonian

• Allgemeine Beschreibung

  Tolcapone, 3,4-dihydroxy-4'-methyl-5-nitrobenzophenone (Tasmar), is a yellow, odorless, nonhygroscopic,crystalline compound (pK_a＝4.78). Tolcapone israpidly absorbed after oral administration. Tolcapone ishighly bound to plasma albumin (＞98%), and its distributionis therefore restricted. Tolcapone has low first-pass metabolism.It is almost completely metabolized in the liver before excretion, and 60% is excreted by the kidney. The majormetabolite of tolcapone is an inactive glucuronide conjugate.COMT inhibitors increase chronotropic and arrhythmogeniceffects of epinephrine.Tolcapone is indicated as an adjunctto levodopa/carbidopa for the management of signs andsymptoms of PD.

• Biochem/physiol Actions

  Tolcapone is an orally active catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitor. It inhibits both central and peripheral COMT. Tolcapone crosses the blood-brain barrier, and has been used for L-DOPA adjunct therapy in the treatment of Parkinson′s Disease.

• Clinical Use

  Catechol-o-methyltransferase inhibitor:
  Treatment of Parkinson’s disease

• Arzneimittelwechselwirkung

  Potentially hazardous interactions with other drugs
  Antidepressants: avoid with MAOIs.

• Stoffwechsel

  Extensively metabolised, mainly by conjugation to the inactive glucuronide, but methylation by catecholO-methyltransferase to 3-O-methyltolcapone and metabolism by cytochrome P450 isoenzymes CYP3A4 and CYP2A6 also occurs. Approximately 60
  % of a dose is excreted in the urine with the remainder appearing in the faeces.
