Basic Aspects of Catechol-O-Methyltransferase and the Clinical Applications of its Inhibitors: International Review of Neurobiology, cartea 95

Erkki Nissinen
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 13 dec 2010
Volume 95 of International Review of Neurobiology focuses on Catechol-O-methyltransferase inhibition, and its clinical application in relation to Parkinson’s disease. Chapters cover COMT gene and proteins, L-dopa treatment in Parkinson’s disease, the latest research on COMT inhibitors and their clinical applications, as well as future prospects for their use.

  • Up-to-date summary of biochemistry and pharmacology of COMT and its inhibitors
  • Preclinical models in COMT inhibitor devlopment
  • Transgenic COMT mice – latest information summarized
  • Chemistry of COMT inhibitors and their design with molecular modelling
  • COMT gene and its regulation and relation to dopamine related diseases
  • Role of cofactor SAM regulation in relation to homocysteine
  • Nonclinical and clinical safety of COMT inhibitors summarized
  • Future prospects of COMT inhibitors in Parkinson’s disease
