U-0521 is the inhibitor of the catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT). U-0521 has the potential for the research of Parkinsons disease.
性状
Solid
IC50 & Target[1][2]
COMT
体外研究(In Vitro)
U-0521 inhibits RBC COMT activity in a dose-dependent manner with an IC50 of 6 x10 M. has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
体内研究(In Vivo)
U-0521 (i.p.; 0-250 mg/kg; 10 min) inhibits COMT activity in a dose-dependent manner. 50% inhibition of enzyme activity is obtained at 90 mg/kg and maximum inhibition of 90% is obtained at 250 mg/kg. has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
