Anti-Parkinson's disease drugs
Entacapone is an anti-Parkinson's disease drug which is successfully developed by Orion Pharma company in Swedish. It is a highly selective potent catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitor, rarely penetrating the blood-brain barrier, and primarily acting in the intestinal tract. It is dose-dependent to decrease levels of 3-OMD in serum and the brain, increasing levodopa, dopamine and DOPAC levels in the brain and significantly reducing the dose which is required to increase dopamine concentration in striatal. Levodopa and carbidopa combining with COMTI can significantly increase the bioavailability of levodopa (3-4 times). Activity of COMTI in red blood cell is reversible. When in 800mg dose, the maximum inhibitory activity is up to 82%, so Entacapone combines with levodopa and carbidopa, which can be used for adjuvant therapy of idiopathic Parkinson's disease.
Pharmacokinetics
This product is rapid oral absorption, the bioavailability is a dose-dependent with the range of 30% to 45%. In the range of 5~800 mg, pharmacokinetics of Entacapone (abbreviation: Ent) is linear, peak plasma concentration is related to AUC and dose. Food does not affect the absorption of this product, 98% Ent combines with plasma albumin, rarely distributing in tissues. In patients with Parkinson disease (abbreviated: PD), and is required to take levodopa/carbidopa, the peak concentration of Ent arrives within 1~2h. The rate of Ent through the blood-brain barrier is low, the plasma elimination half-life is 1.5~3.5h. After oral administration, Ent (E-configuration) is metabolized to Z-isomer in the blood and is present in plasma and red blood cells. Z-isomer has little impact on the clinical efficacy. Its drug-time curve is similar to Ent. Z-Ent accounts for about 5% of the total AUC. Ent and Z-Ent are acidified by glucose in the liver. After metabolism of Ent: 10% excreted in the urine, 90% of Ent excreted in the feces, only 0.2% excreted in the urine in phony drugs. While taking levodopa in PD patients, and oral Ent 200 mg after elimination half-life of about 1 h, the body has no savings.
Pharmacokinetic study shows that in healthy persons and patients with PD, Ent can increase the bioavailability of levodopa. In the short-term PD patients taking Ent, AUC of levodopa increase 25%, while the long-term taking Ent can increase 50%. AUC of 3-OMD relatively reduces 60%. In these studies, they found that plasma peak time of levodopa will be extended. Single dose of Entacapone (while not taking levodopa/carbidopa), in patients with liver disease, the patient's AUC and Cmax is 2 times of the patients with normal liver function. We should adjust the dosage of the patient. In patients with mild to moderate kidney disease, it is not necessary to adjust the dosage. Kidney patients receiving dialysis can extend dosing interval.

Description
Entacapone was introduced in Finland, Germany and Sweden as an
adjunctive treatment with L-dopa in Parkinson’s disease. Entacapone is the
second drug in its class to reach the market; it can be obtained by
basecatalyzed condensation of the corresponding benzaldehyde with a
cyanoacetamide. Entacapone is a highly selective and orally-active catechol-0-
methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitor ; by inhibiting metabolism of L-dopa when
given as an adjuvant in patients with Parkinson’s disease, Entacapone markedly
prolongs the effects of L-dopa and improves its bioavailability. Results from
clinical studies showed that 200mglday Entacapone coadministered with L-dopa
lowered the dose of the latter required to reduce fluctuations in motor
performance.

Therapeutic Function

General Description
Entacapone, (E)-2-cyano-3-(3,4-dihydroxy-5-nitrophenyl)-N,N-diethyl-2-propenamide (Comtan),is a nitrocatechol that is practically insoluble in water (pKa=4.50). Entacapone is rapidly absorbed after oral administrationand does not cross the BBB. Entacapone does not distributewidely into tissues because of its high plasma proteinbinding and it is completely metabolized before excretion.The main metabolic pathway is by isomerization to the cisisomerfollowed by direct glucuronidation of the parent andthe cis-isomer. The glucuronide conjugates are inactive.Entacapone is eliminated in the feces (90%) and urine (10%).Entacapone is indicated as an adjunct to levodopa/carbidopato treat patients with idiopathic PD who experience the signsand symptoms of end-of-dose wearing off.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Entacapone is a catechol-O-methyl transferase (COMT) inhibitor. Used in treatment of Parkinson′s disease, entacapone is administered with L-DOPA to inihibit COMT from converting L-DOPA into a compound that cannot cross the blood brain barrier.

3-Aryl-2-propenoic acid derivatives undergo interesting reactions with hot triethylamine. Substrates like 6 having a methoxyl with a nitro in the ortho and cyanoacrylic derivatives in the para positions give O-demethylated products, for example, entacapone 7. On the other hand compounds like 16 having the NO2 in the para and cyanoacrylic in the ortho position undergo reduction and vinylogation. The latter phenomenon is observed in the absence of the NO2 group also.
