Inhibition of human monoamine oxidase: biological and molecular modeling studies on selected natural flavonoids
(ACS, 2016)
Naturally occurring flavonoids display a plethora of different biological activities, but emerging evidence suggests that this class of compounds may also act as antidepressant agents endowed with multiple mechanisms of ...
C6- and C7-substituted 3,4-dihydro-2(1H)-quinolinones as inhibitors of monoamine oxidase
(Thieme, 2017)
Purpose Monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors are considered to be useful therapeutic agents and isoform specific inhibitors are employed for the treatment of depression and Parkinson’s disease. MAO inhibitors are also under ...
Inhibition of monoamine oxidase by indole-5,6-dicarbonitrile derivatives
(Elsevier, 2015)
Recent studies have found that phthalonitrile derivatives are remarkably potent inhibitors of human monoamine oxidase (MAO) A and B. In an attempt to further determine the structure-activity relationships (SARs) for MAO ...
An investigation of the monoamine oxidase inhibition properties of pyrrolo[3,4‐f]indole‐5,7‐dione and indole‐5,6‐dicarbonitrile derivatives
(Wiley, 2018)
In recent studies, we have shown that pyrrolo[3,4‐f]indole‐5,7‐dione and indole‐5,6‐dicarbonitrile derivatives act as good potency in vitro inhibitors of the monoamine oxidase (MAO) enzymes. To expand on these series and ...
The evaluation of 1,4-benzoquinones as inhibitors of human monoamine oxidase
(Elsevier, 2017)
The monoamine oxidase (MAO) enzymes are of considerable pharmacological interest and inhibitors are used in the clinic for the treatment of major depressive disorder and Parkinson's disease. A limited number of studies ...
Carbamate substituted 2-amino-4,6-diphenylpyrimidines as adenosine receptor antagonists
(Elsevier, 2016)
A novel series of carbamate substituted 2-amino-4,6-diphenylpyrimidines was evaluated as potential dual adenosine A1 and A2A receptor antagonists. The majority of the synthesised compounds exhibited promising dual affinities, ...
Design, synthesis and biochemical evaluation of novel multi-target inhibitors as potential anti-Parkinson agents
(Elsevier, 2018)
New 4-(3-nitrophenyl)thiazol-2-ylhydrazone derivatives are proposed as dual-target-directed monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors, as well as antioxidant agents, for the treatment of ...
Synthesis and evaluation of 2-benzylidene-1-tetralone derivatives for monoamine oxidase inhibitory activity
(Bentham Science, 2018)
Background: Chalcone has been identified as a promising lead for the design of Monoamine Oxidase (MAO) inhibitors. This study attempted to discover potent and selective chalcone-derived MAO inhibitors by synthesising a ...
Nitrocatechol derivatives of chalcone as inhibitors of monoamine oxidase and Catechol-O-Methyltransferase
(Bentham Science, 2018)
Introduction: The efficacy of L-dopa in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease depends on its metabolic conversion to dopamine in the brain, however extensive peripheral metabolism of L-dopa diminishes its availability for ...
Azure B and a synthetic structural analogue of methylene blue, ethylthioninium chloride, present with antidepressant-like properties
(Elsevier, 2014)
Aims: The phenothiazinium compound, methylene blue (MB), possesses diverse pharmacological actions and is
attracting attention for the treatment of bipolar disorder and Alzheimer's disease. MB acts on both monoamine
oxidase ...
