Application
Ro 41-0960 has been used as an inhibitor of catechol-O-methyl-transferase in synaptosome membrane preparations and 3T3-L1 adipocytes. It has also been used as a catechol-O-methyl-transferase inhibitor to treat corpus striatum samples to test its effect on dopamine metabolism.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Ro 41-0960 is a specific and synthetic inhibitor of the enzyme catechol-O-methyl-transferase (COMT). It binds to the catalytic site and triggers the inhibition of the methylation property of COMT. Ro 41-0960 is effective on uterine leiomyoma lesions and uterine fibroids.

Inhibition of catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT; EC 2.1.1.6) is a new therapeutic strategy in the treatment of Parkinson's disease. However, nothing is known about the effects of COMT inhibition on levodopa (L-dopa)-induced toxicity in dopamine (DA) neurons. Therefore we evaluated the effects

Many of the major identified risk factors for breast cancer are associated with exposure to endogenous estrogen. In addition to the effects of estrogen as a growth factor, experimental and epidemiological evidence suggest that catechol metabolites of estrogen also contribute

L-Dopa is the most effective drug known for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. However, the large doses required to treat this neurodegenerative disorder can significantly affect tissue concentrations of sulfur amino acid metabolites due to peripheral and central O-methylation. These

A valine-to-isoleucine mutation at position 122 of the serum protein transthyretin (TTR), found in 3 to 4% of African Americans, alters its stability, leading to amyloidogenesis and cardiomyopathy. In addition, 10 to 15% of individuals older than 65 years develop

Phytochemicals are natural dietary constituents of fruits and vegetables. Some of these phytochemicals are known to affect estrogen-metabolizing enzymes. In breast tissue, estradiol can be metabolized to the catechol estrogens 2- and 4-hydroxyestradiol (2-OHE(2) and 4-OHE(2)). Catechol estrogens are suspected
