Monoamine oxidase inhibition by southern African traditional medicinal plants
Traditional health care is utilized by a large majority of the population in southern Africa. This is particularly true of treatment for mental health problems. A large part of the treatment regimes used by traditional healers involve numerous herbal preparations. Twenty plants used traditionally were screened for MAO inhibition and specific MAO-B inhibition activity. MAO-B inhibitors are curre...
متن کاملInhibition of monoamine oxidase by stilbenes from Rheum palmatum
Seven stilbenes and one catechin were bioactivity-guidedly isolated from the rhizomes of Rheum palmatem. Their structures were identified as piceatannol(1), resveratrol(2), piceid(3), rhapontigenin(4), piceatannol-3'-O-β-D-glucopyranoside(5), rhaponticin(6), catechin(7) and desoxyrhapontigenin(8). Anti-monoamine oxidase (MAO) activities of compounds 1–8 were tested. Compounds 1 and 8 showed sig...

متن کاملMonoamine oxidase inhibition.
Introduction The discovery that inhibitors of monoamine oxidase (EC 1.4.3.4.; MAO) are antidepressants (see [ l ] for a review) has resulted in the synthesis of large numbers of inhibitors, several of which have proved to be valuable in clinical use. Such work was given added impetus when it was recognized that there are two monoamine oxidases in most mammalian tissues, MAO-A and MAO-B, with di...
