3,5-Dinitrocatechol (OR-486) is a selective inhibitor of catechol O-methyl transferase (COMT). COMT is an enzyme that plays a major role in catechol neurotransmitter deactivation. Inhibition of COMT can increase neurotransmitter levels, which provides a means of treatment for Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, and depression.

Sample Use Guides
in rat: orally administered OR-486 (3,5-DINITROCATECHOL) were more effective in reducing the formation of 3-O-methyldopa from levodopa than was the levodopa-carbidopa treatment alone. These results indicate that OR-486 is effective and long-lasting inhibitors of COMT activity.
Route of Administration:
Oral
Two novel COMT inhibitors, OR-462 and OR-486 (3,5-DINITROCATECHOL), were highly effective (IC50 = 18 and 12 nM, respectively) and selective in inhibiting COMT activity in vitro. Tyrosine hydroxylase was not inhibited until micromolar concentrations of these compounds were used: the IC50 values for OR-462 and OR-486 were 10 and 14 microM, respectively.
