Inhibition 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...

Monoamine 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...

Mitochondrial Monoamine Oxidase

Inhibitions of the relatively highly purified flavoenzyme, bovine kidney mitochondrial monoamine oxidase, previously described in Paper I (Erwin, V. G., and Hellerman, L., J. Biol. Gem., 242, 4230 (1967)), by several agents of current interest have been investigated. The inhibitors include Nmethyl-N-(Z-propynyl)benzylamine (pargyline), (+)-fransphenylcyclopropylamine (d form of tranylcypromine)...
