The effect of increasing single oral doses of the novel catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitor, nitecapone, on enzyme activity in red cells (RBC) and gastroduodenal COMT activity has been studied in healthy male volunteers. A dose-dependent decrease in RBC COMT activity was seen in all cases

A non-radiometric method to measure the catechol-0-methyltransferase (COMT) activity in erythrocytes was modified to increase its sensitivity four-fold as well as its reproducibility and applicability. The method is based on the COhlT-mediated O-methyiation of 44naphtho [1,2-d] thiazol-2-yl) pyrocat
