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 ...
Evaluation of selected natural compounds as dual inhibitors of catechol-o-methyltransferase and monoamine oxidase
(Bentham Science, 2019)
Background: The most effective symptomatic treatment of Parkinson’s disease remains the metabolic precursor of dopamine, L-dopa. To enhance the efficacy of L-dopa, it is often combined with inhibitors of the enzymes, ...
Benzyloxynitrostyrene analogues: a novel class of selective and highly potent inhibitors of monoamine oxidase B
(Elsevier, 2017)
This study examines a series of novel 3-benzyloxy-β-nitrostyrene analogues as a novel class of inhibitors of the monoamine oxidase (MAO) enzymes. MAO inhibitors are considered useful for the treatment of depression and ...
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 ...
