Tolcapone (Ro 40-7592) is a selective, orally active and powerful mixed (peripheral and central) COMT inhibitor with an IC50 of 773?nM in the liver. Tolcapone is also a potent inhibitor of α-syn and Aβ42 oligomerization and fibrillogenesis. Tolcapone induces oxidative stress leading to apoptosis and inhibition of tumor growth in neuroblastoma.

体外研究(In Vitro)
Tolcapone is cytotoxic to neuroblastoma (NB) cells with IC50 values ranging from 32.27 μM for SMS-KCNR cells to 219.8 μM for MGT9-102-08 primary cells.
Tolcapone (25, 50,75, 100 μM) treatment activates downstream apoptotic events in NB cells. Tolcapone induces caspase-mediated apoptosis in neuroblastoma.
