Structural exploration of synthetic chromones as selective MAO-B inhibitors: a mini review
(Bentham Science, 2017)
Aim and Objective: Specific inhibitors of monoamine oxidase (MAO)-B are considered useful therapeutic agents in targeting neurological disorders like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. Due to the academic challenge of ...
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 ...
Methylene blue and its analogues as antidepressant compounds
(Springer, 2017)
Methylene Blue (MB) is considered to have diverse medical applications and is a well-described treatment for methemoglobinemias and ifosfamide-induced encephalopathy. In recent years the focus has shifted to MB as an ...
MAO inhibitors and their wider applications: a patent review
(Taylor & Francis, 2018)
Introduction: Monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors, after the initial ‘golden age’, are currently used as third-line antidepressants (selective MAO-A inhibitors) or clinically enrolled as co-adjuvants for neurodegenerative ...
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 ...
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 ...
The evaluation of 1,4-benzoquinones as inhibitors of human monoamine oxidase
(Elsevier, 2017)
The monoamine oxidase (MAO) enzymes are of considerable pharmacological interest and inhibitors are used in the clinic for the treatment of major depressive disorder and Parkinson's disease. A limited number of studies ...
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 ...
Inhibition of monoamine oxidase by 8-[(phenylethyl)sulfanyl]caffeine analogues
(Elsevier, 2012)
In a previous study we have investigated the monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitory properties of a series of 8-sulfanylcaffeine analogues. Among the compounds studied, 8-[(phenylethyl)sulfanyl]caffeine (IC50 = 0.223 lM) was ...
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 ...
