CATECHOL-O-METHYLTRANSFERASE IN COMPLEX WITH AN INHIBITOR

Overview

In this work, we present a comparative case study of "ortho-" and, "meta-nitrated" catecholic inhibitors of catechol-O-methyltransferase, (COMT), with regard to their interaction with the catalytic site of the, enzyme and the in vitro regioselective formation of their mono-O-methyl, ether metabolites. In particular, the effects of altering the attachment, position of the inhibitors' side-chain substituent, within the classic, nitrocatechol pharmacophore, were investigated. For this purpose, we, compared two simple regioisomeric nitrocatechol-type inhibitors of COMT, BIA 3-228 and BIA 8-176, which contain the benzoyl substituent attached at, the meta and ortho positions, respectively, relative to the nitro group., The two compounds were slowly O-methylated by COMT in vitro, but the, ...
