DOI: 10.1007/s00702-020-02267-y
Abstract: In the pharmacotherapy of patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD), entacapone reduces the peripheral metabolism of l-dopa to 3-O-methyldopa (3-OMD), thereby prolonging the half-life (t1/2) of l-dopa and increasing the area under the concentration curve (AUC).… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fcimb.2022.837019
Abstract: Background and Aims Entacapone, one of the most common drugs distributed among patients with Parkinson’s disease, is a peripherally acting catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitor that is used in addition to levodopa to control symptoms. However, there… read more here.
