The interactions of caffeine with monoamine oxidase
(Elsevier, 2013)
Aims: Caffeine has been used as a scaffold for the design of inhibitors of monoamine oxidase (MAO) A and B.
Substitution at the C8 position with a variety of moieties yields structures with high MAO inhibition ...
The monoamine oxidase inhibition properties of C6- and N1-substituted 3-methyl-3,4-dihydroquinazolin-2(1H)-one derivatives
(Springer, 2020)
Quinazolinone compounds are of interest in medicinal chemistry since they display a wide range of biological properties. In the present study, a series of C6- and N1-substituted 3-methyl-3,4-dihydroquinazolin-2(1H)-one ...
Evaluation of natural and synthetic 1,4-naphthoquinones as inhibitors of monoamine oxidase
(Wiley, 2016)
Previous reports have documented that 1,4-naphtho-
quinones act as inhibitors of the monoamine oxidase
(MAO) enzymes. In particular, fractionation of the
extracts of cured tobacco leafs has led to the charac-
terization ...
2-Benzylidene-1-indanone derivatives as inhibitors of monoamine oxidase
(Elsevier, 2016)
In the present study, a series of twenty-two 2-benzylidene-1-indanone derivatives were synthesised and evaluated as inhibitors of recombinant human monoamine oxidase (MAO) A and B. The 2-benzylidene-1-indanone derivatives ...
Inhibition of monoamine oxidase by benzoxathiolone analogues
(Elsevier, 2016)
Inhibitors of the monoamine oxidase (MAO) enzymes are considered useful therapeutic agents, and are used in the clinic for the treatment of depressive illness and Parkinson’s disease. In addition, MAO inhibitors are also ...
Leflunomide, a reversible monoamine oxidase inhibitor
(Bentham Science, 2016)
A screening study aimed at identifying inhibitors of the enzyme, monoamine oxidase (MAO), among clinically used drugs have indicated that the antirheumatic drug, leflunomide, is an inhibitor of both MAO isoforms. Leflunomide ...
The synthesis and evaluation of C7-substituted α-tetralone derivatives as inhibitors of monoamine oxidase
(Wiley, 2015)
Based on a previous report that α-tetralone (3,4-dihydro-2H-naphthalen-1-one) is a promising scaffold for the design of highly potent inhibitors of the enzyme, monoamine oxidase, the present study investigates the monoamine ...
Monoamine oxidase inhibitory activities of heterocyclic chalcones
(Elsevier, 2015)
Studies have shown that natural and synthetic chalcones (1,3-diphenyl-2-propen-1-ones) possess monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibition activities. Of particular importance to the present study is a report that a series of ...
3-Coumaranone derivatives as inhibitors of monoamine oxidase
(Dove Press, 2015)
The present study examines the monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitory properties of a series of 20 3-coumaranone [benzofuran-3(2H)-one] derivatives. The 3-coumaranone derivatives are structurally related to series of α-tetralone ...
The interactions of azure B, a metabolite of methylene blue, with 2 acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase
(Elsevier, 2014)
Methylene blue(MB) is reported to possess diverse pharmacological actions and is attracting increasing attention
for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. Among the pharmacological
actions ...
