The Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT, EC 2.2.1.6) is an enzyme responsible for the Omethylation of catechol substrates, such as catecholamines and catechol estrogens. Considering its physiological functions and the existence of polymorphisms, several studies associate COMT with the pathogenesis of several neurological disorders, especially with Parkinson’s Disease (PD) as well as with cardiovascular and hormone-dependent cancers, like breast cancers. Given the important role that COMT has in the catecholamines and catechol estrogens metabolism, COMT has become a relevant therapeutic target. Currently, the most effective and clinically approved by the Federal Drug Administration and the European Medicines Agency for the PD therapy consists...
