Tolcapone-d₇  (Synonyms: Ro 40-7592 d₇)

Tolcapone-d₇ is a deuterium labeled Tolcapone. Tolcapone is a selective, potent and orally active COMT inhibitor. Tolcapone is also a potent inhibitor of α-syn and Aβ42 oligomerization and fibrillogenesis and protect against extracellular toxicity induced by the aggregation of both proteins in PC12 cells^[1][2].
