Novel monoamine oxidase inhibitors: a patent review (2012-2014)
(Taylor & Francis, 2015)
Introduction: Monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors, despite the initial pharmacological interest, are used in clinic for their antidepressant effect and in the management of Parkinson symptoms, due to the established ...
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 ...
Multifunctional enzyme inhibition for neuroprotection: a focus on MAO, NOS, and AChE inhibitors
(Elsevier, 2015)
Neurodegenerative disorders are known to be multifactorial in nature and current research focus has moved from a ‘one-drug-one-target approach’ to that of drugs which are able to act at various relevant biological targets. ...
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 ...
The adenosine receptor affinities and monoamine oxidase B inhibitory properties of sulfanylphthalimide analogues
(Elsevier, 2015)
Based on a report that sulfanylphthalimides are highly potent monoamine oxidase (MAO) B selective inhibitors, the present study examines the adenosine receptor affinities and MAO-B inhibitory properties of a series of 4- ...
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 ...
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 ...
2-Aminopyrimidines as dual adenosine A1/A2A antagonists
(Elsevier, 2015)
In this study thirteen 2-aminopyrimidine derivatives were synthesised and screened as potential antagonists of adenosine A1 and A2A receptors in order to further investigate the structure activity relationships of this ...
Inhibition of monoamine oxidase by indole-5,6-dicarbonitrile derivatives
(Elsevier, 2015)
Recent studies have found that phthalonitrile derivatives are remarkably potent inhibitors of human monoamine oxidase (MAO) A and B. In an attempt to further determine the structure-activity relationships (SARs) for MAO ...
