Synthesis and evaluation of 2-benzylidene-1-tetralone derivatives for monoamine oxidase inhibitory activity
(Bentham Science, 2018)
Background: Chalcone has been identified as a promising lead for the design of Monoamine Oxidase (MAO) inhibitors. This study attempted to discover potent and selective chalcone-derived MAO inhibitors by synthesising a ...
Nitrocatechol derivatives of chalcone as inhibitors of monoamine oxidase and Catechol-O-Methyltransferase
(Bentham Science, 2018)
Introduction: The efficacy of L-dopa in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease depends on its metabolic conversion to dopamine in the brain, however extensive peripheral metabolism of L-dopa diminishes its availability for ...
Azure B and a synthetic structural analogue of methylene blue, ethylthioninium chloride, present with antidepressant-like properties
(Elsevier, 2014)
Aims: The phenothiazinium compound, methylene blue (MB), possesses diverse pharmacological actions and is
attracting attention for the treatment of bipolar disorder and Alzheimer's disease. MB acts on both monoamine
oxidase ...
Design, synthesis and evaluation of 3-hydroxypyridin-4-ones as inhibitors of catechol-O-methyltransferase
(Springer, 2020)
The most effective treatment of Parkinson’s disease is restoring central dopamine levels with levodopa, the metabolic precursor of dopamine. However, due to extensive peripheral metabolism by aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase ...
