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 ...
The design and evaluation of an l-dopa-lazabemide prodrug for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease
(MDPI, 2017)
l-Dopa, the metabolic precursor of dopamine, is the treatment of choice for the symptomatic relief of the advanced stages of Parkinson’s disease. The oral bioavailability of l-dopa, however, is only about 10% to 30%, and ...
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 ...
2-Heteroarylidene-1-indanone derivatives as inhibitors of monoamine oxidase
(Elsevier, 2016)
In the present study a series of fifteen 2-heteroarylidene-1-indanone derivatives were synthesised and evaluated as inhibitors of recombinant human monoamine oxidase (MAO) A and B. These compounds are structurally related ...
The synthesis and evaluation of sesamol and benzodioxane derivatives as inhibitors of monoamine oxidase
(Elsevier, 2015)
In the present study, series of eight sesamol (1,3-benzodioxol-5-ol) and eight benzodioxane (2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzodioxine) derivatives were synthesised and evaluated as inhibitors of recombinant human monoamine oxidase ...
An evaluation of synthetic indole derivatives as inhibitors of monoamine oxidase
(Elsevier, 2016)
In a recent study we have shown that several indole-5,6-dicarbonitrile derivatives are potent inhibitors of human monoamine oxidase (MAO) A and B. To expand on these results and to further determine structure–activity ...
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 ...
2-Acetylphenol analogs as potent reversible monoamine oxidase inhibitors
(Dove Press, 2015)
Based on a previous report that substituted 2-acetylphenols may be promising leads for the design of novel monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors, a series of C5-substituted 2-acetylphenol analogs (15) and related compounds ...
The monoamine oxidase inhibition properties of selected structural analogues of methylene blue
(Elsevier, 2017)
The thionine dye, methylene blue (MB), is a potent inhibitor of monoamine oxidase (MAO) A, a property that may, at least in part, mediate its antidepressant effects in humans and animals. The central inhibition of MAO-A ...
