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 ...
Kaempferol as selective human MAO‑A inhibitor: analytical detection in Calabrian red wines, biological and molecular modeling studies
(ACS, 2016)
The purpose of this work was to determine the kaempferol content in three red wines of Calabria, a southern
Italian region with a great number of certified food products. Considering that wine cultivar, climate, and soil ...
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 ...
The adenosine receptor affinities and monoamine oxidase B inhibitory properties of sulfanylphthalimide analogues
(Elsevier, 2015)
Based on a report that sulfanylphthalimides are highly potent monoamine oxidase (MAO) B selective inhibitors, the present study examines the adenosine receptor affinities and MAO-B inhibitory properties of a series of 4- ...
Indanones as high-potency reversible inhibitors of monoamine oxidase
(Wiley, 2015)
Recent reports document that α-tetralone (3,4-dihydro-2H-naphthalen-1-one) is an appropriate scaffold for the design of high-potency monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors. Based on the structural similarity between α-tetralone ...
Inhibition of monoamine oxidase by 3,4-dihydro-2(1H)-quinolinone derivatives
(Elsevier, 2013)
In the present study, a series of 3,4-dihydro-2(1H)-quinolinone derivatives were synthesized and evaluated
as inhibitors of recombinant human monoamine oxidase (MAO) A and B. The 3,4-dihydro-2(1H)-
quinolinone derivatives ...
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 ...
Caffeine as a lead compound for the design of therapeutic agents for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease
(Bentham Science, 2015)
The current pharmacological therapies for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease are mostly inadequate and recent, improved therapeutic agents are required. Two important molecular targets for the design of anti-parkinsonian ...
2-Aminopyrimidines as dual adenosine A1/A2A antagonists
(Elsevier, 2015)
In this study thirteen 2-aminopyrimidine derivatives were synthesised and screened as potential antagonists of adenosine A1 and A2A receptors in order to further investigate the structure activity relationships of this ...
