Difference between CYP3A4 and Tolcapone

CYP3A4 vs. Tolcapone

Cytochrome P450 3A4 (abbreviated CYP3A4) is an important enzyme in the body, mainly found in the liver and in the intestine. Tolcapone (brand name Tasmar) is a drug used to treat Parkinson's disease (PD).

Similarities between CYP3A4 and Tolcapone

CYP3A4 and Tolcapone have 7 things in common (in Unionpedia): Bioavailability, Central nervous system, Dissociation constant, Enzyme, Hepatotoxicity, Prodrug, Substrate (chemistry).

Bioavailability

In pharmacology, bioavailability (BA or F) is a subcategory of absorption and is the fraction of an administered dose of unchanged drug that reaches the systemic circulation, one of the principal pharmacokinetic properties of drugs.

Central nervous system

The central nervous system (CNS) is the part of the nervous system consisting of the brain and spinal cord.

Dissociation constant

In chemistry, biochemistry, and pharmacology, a dissociation constant (K_d) is a specific type of equilibrium constant that measures the propensity of a larger object to separate (dissociate) reversibly into smaller components, as when a complex falls apart into its component molecules, or when a salt splits up into its component ions.

Hepatotoxicity

Hepatotoxicity (from hepatic toxicity) implies chemical-driven liver damage.

Prodrug

A prodrug is a medication or compound that, after administration, is metabolized (i.e., converted within the body) into a pharmacologically active drug.

Substrate (chemistry)

In chemistry, a substrate is typically the chemical species being observed in a chemical reaction, which reacts with a reagent to generate a product.

CYP3A4 and Tolcapone Comparison

CYP3A4 has 307 relations, while Tolcapone has 68. As they have in common 7, the Jaccard index is 1.87% = 7 / (307 + 68).
