Development of novel techniques to extract phenolic compounds from Romanian cultivars of Prunus domestica L. and their biological properties
(Elsevier, 2018)
In the present work, fourteen cultivars of Prunus domestica were analyzed to investigate their phenolic pattern with the purpose of using the leaves as potential resources of bioactive compounds in the pharmaceutical and ...
A review of the pharmacological properties of 3,4-dihydro-2(1h)- quinolinones
(Bentham Science, 2018)
The 3,4-dihydro-2(1H)-quinolinone moiety is present in a number of pharmacologically active compounds. These include FDA approved drugs such as cilostazol, carteolol and aripiprazole as well as numerous experimental ...
Synthesis and in vitro evaluation of 2-heteroarylidene-1-tetralone derivatives as monoamine oxidase inhibitors
(Thieme, 2018)
The present study investigates the human monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibition properties of a series of twelve 2-heteroarylidene-1-tetralone derivatives. Also included are related cyclohexylmethylidene, cyclopentylmethylidene ...
Methylene blue analogues with marginal monoamine oxidase inhibition retain antidepressant-like activity
(ACS, 2018)
Methylene blue (MB) possesses diverse medical applications. Among these, MB presents with antidepressant-like effects in animals and has shown promise in clinical trials for the treatment of mood disorders. As an antidepressant, ...
Synthesis and evaluation of 2-substituted 4(3H)-quinazolinone thioether derivatives as monoamine oxidase inhibitors
(Elsevier, 2018)
In the present study, a series of fourteen 2-mercapto-4(3H)-quinazolinone derivatives was synthesised and evaluated as potential inhibitors of the human monoamine oxidase (MAO) enzymes. Quinazolinone is the oxidised form ...
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 ...
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 ...
