The transfer of a methyl group from S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) to a catechol substrate by the enzyme catechol O-methyltransferase (COMT)(EC 2.1. 1.6) has been found to be inhibited in vitro by various substituted 8-hydroxy quinolines. A study of the structure-activity relationships of a series of substituted 8-hydroxy quinolines was carried out and from this study have evolved some of the most potent in vitroinhibitors of COMT yet reported (eg, 7-iodo-8-hydroxyquinoline-5-sulfonic acid;= 8.93 X\0'M). Rate studies indicate that these inhibitors are linear noncompetitive with respect to catechol substrate and uncompetitive with respect to d'-adenosyl-L-methionine; a complex relationship exists with respect to magnesium. From the noncompetitive rate data were calculated the inhibition constants for the slope (Ajs) and intercept (Aj¡). Variation of these inhibition contants with structural changes on the basic 8-hydroxy quinoline molecule was determined. For 5-substituted compounds a good correlation with Hammett a was observed. The ability of 8-hydroxy quinoline to inhibit COMT was found to increase with increasing pH which could be attributed to a decrease in* i¡. Aqs was found to remain constant over the pH range of6. 8-8.3. By studying the kinetics of inhibition of combinations of tropolone and 8-hydroxy quinoline, evidence was obtained to indicate these inhibitors bind at least partly to the same site on theThe extraneuronal inactivation of norepinephrine is de-pendent upon the enzyme catechol O-methyltransferase (COMT)(EC 2.1. 1.6). h+ The inhibition of this route of catecholamine metabolism has been thesubject of considerable research, interest resulting in the identification of several classes of synthetic2-9 and natural inhibitors. 10 Some of these inhibitors have proven useful in ascertaining the relative im-
