The primary action by which entacapone and tolcapone
enhance the therapeutic effect of levodopa-carbidopa
in parkinsonism is:
A. Inhibition of levodopa methylation in the
liver
B. Inhibition of dopamine methylation in the
brain
C. Inhibition of oxidative deamination of
dopamine in the brain
D. Facilitation of active transport of levodopa
across brain capillaries
