Deuterium isotope effects for the oxidation of 1-methyl-3phenyl-3pyrrolinyl analogues by monoamine oxidase B
(Elsevier, 2008)The parkinsonian inducing agent, 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP), is a cyclic tertiary allylamine exhibiting good monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) substrate properties. MAO-B catalyzes the ring α-carbon ... -
Investigating the potential neuroprotective effects of statins on DNA damage in mouse striatium
(Elsevier, 2008)We investigated the protective effect of pravastatin, simvastatin and atorvastatin on striatal DNA damage as a potential method to conserve and protect the nigrostriatal neurons. C57Bl/J6 mice were treated with combinations ... -
The synthesis and evaluation of 1-methyl-3-pyrrolines and 1-methylpyrroles as substrates and inhibitors of monoamine oxidase B
(North-West University, 2007)Very little is known about why and how the Parkinson's disease (PD) neurodegenerative process begins and progresses. In the course of developments for treatment of PD, the discovery of the inhibition of monoamine oxidase ... -
Synthesis and evaluation of nitrocatechol derivatives of chalcone as inhibitors of monoamine oxidase and catechol-O-methyltransferase
(North-West University (South-Africa). Potchefstroom Campus, 2019)Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurological movement disorder that worsens with age. Parkinson’s disease is still the most frequent neurodegenerative disorder after Alzheimer’s disease. There is no known cause of ...
