Tolcapone-d4

• UNSPSC Description:

  Tolcapone-d4 is the deuterium labeled Tolcapone. 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[1]. Tolcapone is also a potent inhibitor of α-syn and Aβ42 oligomerization and fibrillogenesis[2]. Tolcapone induces oxidative stress leading to apoptosis and inhibition of tumor growth in neuroblastoma[3].
