Metabolite Identification
Common NameEntacapone
DescriptionEntacapone, also known as comtan or comtess, belongs to hydroxycinnamic acids and derivatives class of compounds. Those are compounds containing an cinnamic acid (or a derivative thereof) where the benzene ring is hydroxylated. Entacapone is practically insoluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Entacapone is a non-carcinogenic (not listed by IARC) potentially toxic compound. Entacapone is a drug which is used as an adjunct to levodopa / carbidopa in the symptomatic treatment of patients with idiopathic parkinson's disease who experience the signs and symptoms of end-of-dose "wearing-off". Entacapone, sold under the brand name Comtan among others, is a medication commonly used in combination with other medications for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. Entacapone together with levodopa and carbidopa allows levodopa to have a longer effect in the brain and reduces Parkinson’s disease signs and symptoms for a greater length of time than levodopa and carbidopa therapy alone (Wikipedia). Side effect include increase the occurrence of orthostatic hypotension, severe rhabdomyolysis, dyskinesia, hallucinations, hyperkinesia, hypokinesia, dizziness, fatigu,e gastrointestinal effects including abdominal pain constipation diarrhea nausea (DrugBank). Management of Entacapone overdose is symptomatic; there is no known antidote to Comtan. Hospitalization is advised, and general supportive care is indicated. There is no experience with hemodialysis or hemoperfusion, but these procedures are unlikely to be of benefit, because Entacapone is highly bound to plasma proteins. An immediate gastric lavage and repeated doses of charcoal over time may hasten the elimination of Entacapone by decreasing its absorption/reabsorption from the GI tract. The adequacy of the respiratory and circulatory systems should be carefully monitored and appropriate supportive measures employed (L1712) (T3DB). Entacapone is an inhibitor drug of catechol O-methyltransferase, which catalyzes the reaction between catechol and S-adenosyl-L-methionine to produce guaiacol and S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine..
