Abstract

The in vitro Monoamine Oxidase inhibitory (MAOI) activities of 11 heteroarylisopropylamines vis-à-vis MAO-A and MAO-B were described and interpreted in terms of possible interactions with the Enzyme active site. Molecular dynamics simulations allowed a comparison between the most active MAO-A Inhibitor of the series, the 1-(2-benzofuryl)-2-aminopropane, and the specific, analogous MAO-A substrate serotonin.
