Entacapone
Based on 8 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Entacapone is a potent, reversible, peripherally acting and orally active catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitor. Entacapone inhibits COMT from rat brain, erythrocytes and liver with IC50 values of 10 nM, 20 nM, and 160 nM, respectively. Entacapone is selective for COMT over other catecholamine metabolizing enzymes, including MAO-A, MAO-B, phenolsulphotransferase M (PST-M) and PST-P (IC50s>50 μM). Entacapone can be used for the research of Parkinson's disease. Entacapone serves as a inhibitor of FTO demethylation with an IC50 of 3.5 μM, can be used for the research of metabolic disorders.

Entacapone (50 μM, 48 hours) enhances the amount of m6A on mRNA in Hep-G2 cells. It does not show any inhibitory effect on the enzymatic activity of the RNA m6A demethylase AlkB homolog 5 (ALKBH5) or the ten-eleven translocation methylcytosine dioxygenase 1 (TET1), nor does it alter the DNA methylation or histone methylation patterns in entacapone-treated Hep-G2 cells[2].
