Monoamine Oxidase (MAO-N) Whole Cell Biocatalyzed Aromatization of 1,2,5,6-Tetrahydropyridines into Pyridines

Synthesis and mechanistic studies on the monoamine oxidase (MAO) catalyzed oxidation of 1,4-disubstituted-1,2,3,6- tetrahydropyridines

Monoamine oxidase A (MAO A) inhibitors decrease glioma progression

Glioblastoma (GBM) is an aggressive brain tumor which is currently treated with temozolomide (TMZ). Tumors usually become resistant to TMZ and recur; no effective therapy is then available. Monoamine Oxidase A (MAO A) oxidizes monoamine neurotransmitters resulting in reactive oxygen species which cause cancer. This study shows that MAO A expression is increased in human glioma tissues and cell ...

microcantilever based on flavoenzyme monoamine oxidase (mao) as a bioprobe

microcantilevers (mcls) are cost-effective and highly sensitive devices for biodetection. adsorption of specific analytes on the microcantilever surface causes the bending of mcl through changing of the surface characteristics. these new bioprobes designed in a way that one side of the microcantilever surface is coated with a selective receptor that absorbs particular molecules. after surface a...

Design, Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Novel N-Pyridyl-Hydrazone Derivatives as Potential Monoamine Oxidase (MAO) Inhibitors.

A new series of N-pyridyl-hydrazone derivatives was synthesized by using a simple and efficient method. The final compounds obtained were screened for their inhibitory potency against monoamine oxidase (MAO) A and B. The newly synthesized compounds 2a-2n specifically inhibited monoamine oxidases, displaying notably low IC50 values. Compounds 2i and 2j, with a CF₃ and OH group on the 4-position ...

Monoamine oxidase inhibitory constituents of propolis: kinetics and mechanism of inhibition of recombinant human MAO-A and MAO-B.

Propolis is the resinous material that bees gather from leaf buds, flowers and vegetables. Propolis extracts contain constituents with a broad spectra of pharmacological properties and are important ingredients of popular dietary supplements. Propolis extracts were evaluated in vitro for inhibition of recombinant human monoamine oxidase (MAO)-A and MAO-B. The dichloromethane extract of propolis...
