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 ...
Inhibition of monoamine oxidase by phthalide analogues
(Elsevier, 2013)
Based on recent reports that the small molecules, isatin and phthalimide, are suitable scaffolds for the
design of high potency monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors, the present study examines the MAO inhibitory
properties ...
Exploring 4-substituted-2-thiazolylhydrazones from 2-, 3-, and 4-acetylpyridine as selective and reversible hMAO-B inhibitors
(Elsevier, 2013)
A series of 4-substituted-2-thiazolylhydrazone derivatives have been synthesized and tested in vitro for
their human monoamine oxidase (hMAO) A and B inhibitory activity. Our findings confirmed that the
substitution at ...
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 ...
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 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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
