Background: Nebicapone is a reversible catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitor. Coadministration of a COMT inhibitor with levodopa and a dopa-decarboxylase inhibitor (carbidopa or benserazide) increases levodopa exposure and its therapeutic effect. Objectives: The primary objective of this study was to investigate the effect of nebicapone (50, 100, and 200 mg), compared with placebo, on levodopa pharmacok...
BIA 3-202 is a novel catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitor being developed for use as a levodopa-sparing agent in Parkinson_s disease. This study investigated the effect of four single oral doses of BIA 3-202 (50 mg, 100 mg, 200 mg, and 400 mg) compared with placebo on plasma concentrations of levodopa and its metabolite 3-O-methyl-levodopa (3-OMD) and on inhibition of erythrocyte COMT in healthy subjec...
