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 ...
2-Acetylphenol analogs as potent reversible monoamine oxidase inhibitors
(Dove Press, 2015)
Based on a previous report that substituted 2-acetylphenols may be promising leads for the design of novel monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors, a series of C5-substituted 2-acetylphenol analogs (15) and related compounds ...
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 ...
3-Coumaranone derivatives as inhibitors of monoamine oxidase
(Dove Press, 2015)
The present study examines the monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitory properties of a series of 20 3-coumaranone [benzofuran-3(2H)-one] derivatives. The 3-coumaranone derivatives are structurally related to series of α-tetralone ...
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 ...
