Selective monoamine oxidase inhibitors. 4. 4-Aminophenethylamine derivatives with neuron-selective action. 1986

L Florvall, and I Fagervall, and A L Ask, and S B Ross

Nine 4-aminophenethylamine derivatives were synthesized and tested for monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitory effects with particular attention to their selectivity for MAO within monoaminergic neurons in the rat brain. All compounds selectively inhibited the A form of MAO in vitro. Some of the compounds inhibited the MAO within the monoaminergic neurons at much lower doses than those required for inhibition of MAO within other cells in vivo. The most potent compounds in this respect were 4-amino-2-fluoro-alpha-methylphenethylamine (5) and 4-amino-2-chloro-alpha-methylphenethylamine (4).

D012110 Reserpine An alkaloid found in the roots of Rauwolfia serpentina and R. vomitoria. Reserpine inhibits the uptake of norepinephrine into storage vesicles resulting in depletion of catecholamines and serotonin from central and peripheral axon terminals. It has been used as an antihypertensive and an antipsychotic as well as a research tool, but its adverse effects limit its clinical use.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D001679 Biogenic Amines A group of naturally occurring amines derived by enzymatic decarboxylation of the natural amino acids. Many have powerful physiological effects (e.g., histamine, serotonin, epinephrine, tyramine). Those derived from aromatic amino acids, and also their synthetic analogs (e.g., amphetamine), are of use in pharmacology. Amines, Biogenic,Biogenic Amine,Amine, Biogenic
D013329 Structure-Activity Relationship The relationship between the chemical structure of a compound and its biological or pharmacological activity. Compounds are often classed together because they have structural characteristics in common including shape, size, stereochemical arrangement, and distribution of functional groups.
