(+)-(R)- and (-)-(S)-salsolinol, dopamine-derived tetrahydroisoquinolines, were tested as substrates of pig brain soluble and membrane-bound catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) and as inhibitors of O-methylation of dopamine by soluble COMT in vitro. Methylation products were separated by high-perfor
