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 ...
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 ...
The interactions of azure B, a metabolite of methylene blue, with 2 acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase
(Elsevier, 2014)
Methylene blue(MB) is reported to possess diverse pharmacological actions and is attracting increasing attention
for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. Among the pharmacological
actions ...
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 ...
Synthesis and in vitro evaluation of 2-heteroarylidene-1-tetralone derivatives as monoamine oxidase inhibitors
(Thieme, 2018)
The present study investigates the human monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibition properties of a series of twelve 2-heteroarylidene-1-tetralone derivatives. Also included are related cyclohexylmethylidene, cyclopentylmethylidene ...
Monoamine oxidase inhibition by selected dye compounds
(Wiley, 2019)
Monoamine oxidase (MAO) is an important drug target as the MAO isoforms play key roles in neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease, as well as in neuropsychiatric diseases such as ...
The evaluation of 1-tetralone and 4-chromanone derivatives as inhibitors of monoamine oxidase
(Springer, 2020)
Monoamine oxidase (MAO) is of much clinical relevance, and inhibitors of this enzyme are used in the treatment for neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders such as depression and Parkinson’s disease. The present ...
Monoamine oxidase inhibition by Kavalactones from Kava (Piper Methysticum)
(Thieme, 2019)
Monoamine oxidases (MAOs) are key metabolic enzymes for neurotransmitter and dietary amines and are targets for the treatment of neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders. This study examined the MAO inhibition ...
Optimization of pyrrolo[3,4‐f]indole‐5,7‐dione and indole‐5,6‐dicarbonitrile derivatives as inhibitors of monoamine oxidase
(Wiley, 2019)
In recent studies, we have investigated the monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibition properties of pyrrolo[3,4‐f]indole‐5,7‐dione and indole‐5,6‐dicarbonitrile derivatives. Since numerous high potency MAO inhibitors are present ...
