To find new compounds with potential neuroprotective activity, we have designed, synthesized, and characterized a series of neural nitricoxidesynthase (nNOS) inhibitors with a kynurenamine structure. Among them, N-[3-(2-amino-5-methoxyphenyl)-3-oxopropyl]acetamide is the main melatonin metabolite in the brain and shows the highest activity in the series, with an inhibition percentage of 65% at a
