Discovery of Small Molecules as Membrane-Bound Catechol-<i>O</i>-methyltransferase Inhibitors with Interest in Parkinson’s Disease: Pharmacophore Modeling, Molecular Docking and In Vitro Experimental Validation Studies

A pharmacophore-based virtual screening methodology was used to discover new catechol-<i>O</i>-methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitors with interest in Parkinson’s disease therapy. To do so, pharmacophore models were constructed using the structure of known inhibitors and then they were used...
