Opicaponum (abbreviatura: OPC) est medicamentum pharmaceuticum imprimis neurologiae ad morbum Parkinson tractandum adhibitum. Substantia gregi inhibitorum COMT attribuitur, quod significat, ut enzymum COMT (catechol-O-methyltransferasis) inhiberetur. Effectus Opicaponi longiores aliorum substantiorum huius gregis sunt.

Natura Opicaponi

Natura chemica

Opicaponum est derivatum chemicum oxadiazoli. Nomen chemicum (IUPAC) est (4E)-4-[3-(2,5-dichloro-4,6-dimethyl-1-oxido-pyridin-1-ium-3-yl)-2H-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-ylidum]-2-hydroxy-6-nitrocyclohexa-2,5-dien-1-onum. Massa molaris est 413.17 g/mol.

Solubilitas in aqua 1,2,4-oxadiazoli causa bene est, et ob appendicem N-oxidi pyridini toxicitas cellularum (prae Tolcapono) parva et obsessio enzymi COMT magna^[2].
