Hodoodo CAT#: H319794
CAS#: 923287-50-7
Description: Opicapone, also known as BIA 9-1067, is a novel potent and selective catechol-O-methyltransferase inhibitor (COMT inhibitor ) under clinical evaluation as an adjunct to L-Dopa therapy of Parkinson's disease. Opicapone, a novel third generation COMT inhibitor, when compared to entacapone, provides a superior response upon the bioavailability of levodopa associated to more pronounced, long-lasting, and sustained COMT inhibition.
