Carbidopa is an inhibitor of DOPA decarboxylase, which is used in parkinson disease.Target: DOPA decarboxylaseCarbidopa (CD), a competitive inhibitor of aromatic l-amino acid decarboxylase that does not cross the blood-brain barrier, is routinely administered with levodopa (LD) to patients with Parkinson disease (PD) to reduce the peripheral decarboxylation of LD to dopamine [1]. CD premedication improves 11C-5-HTP PET image quality and facilitates detection of NET lesions. Because of the similarity of metabolic pathways, this method could probably be applied to improve PET imaging using other tracers like 18F-DOPA and 11C-DOPA [2].

Miglustat(OGT918) is an inhibitor of glucosylceramide synthase, primarily to treat Type I Gaucher disease (GD1).Target: OthersMiglustat is an inhibitor of the ceramide-specific glycosyltransferase, which catalyzes the first step of glycosphingolipid biosynthesis and is currently approved for the oral treatment of type 1 GD [1]. Consumption of a standard high-fat breakfast within 30 minutes before administration of miglustat significantly reduced peak exposure but did not significantly affect the extent of systemic exposure to miglustat. The peak plasma concentration (C(max)) decreased by 36% on average following administration with food. Area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC(0-infinity)) showed a modest (14%) decrease with food, but the 90% confidence interval was within the acceptance limit of 80% to 125%. The median (min-max) time to C(max) (t(max)) was prolonged from 2.5 (1.0-4.0) hours in the fasted state to 4.5 (1.5-8.0) hours in the fed state, whereas the apparent terminal half-life was approximately 8 hours and not affected by food [2].
