Ro 41-0960 is a catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitor.{48777} It prevents dopaminergic neuron loss induced by L-DOPA (Item No. 13248) in primary rat rostral mesencephalic tegmentum cultures (EC50 = 0.1 µM). Ro 41-0960 (30 mg/kg) potentiates L-DOPA and carbidopa-induced reversal of reserpine-induced akinesias in rats and reserpine-induced catalepsy and hypothermia in mice.{48778} It reduces striatal 3-methyl-DOPA levels and increases striatal dopamine (Item No. 21992) and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC; Item No. 24912) levels in rats. Ro 41-0960 (150 mg/kg) also reduces fibroid volume in the Eker rat model of uterine fibroids.{48779}
