The invention relates to novel small molecule compounds having a basic structure as depicted by formula (A), where in particular exemplary embodiments R1 is —OH, R2 is —NO2 and R3 is H, R4 and R5 are H, one of R6 and R7 is selected from H, —CONH2, and —CONR92, and the other one is selected from —CONR92 and —CONR11R9, wherein R9 and R11 are (possibly multiply) substituted alkyl and H or alkyl, respectively. The compounds of the invention inhibit the enzyme Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) and exhibit a low off-target profile. The compounds are provided for use as a medicament, in particular for use in prevention or treatment of Parkinson's disease.
