in the biosynthesis of Epi, phenylethanolamineN-methyltransferase (PNMT; EC 2.1.1.28). 1,2,3,4-Tetrahydroisoquinolines (THIQs) are inhibitors of this enzyme, but also display affinity for the alpha2-adrenoceptor. To gain further understanding about how THIQs bind at the PNMT active site and in an attempt to further increase the selectivity of THIQ-type inhibitorsversus the alpha2-adrenoceptor, a series
Improved synthesis of four stereoisomeric chiral 1,3-dimethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines (1a, b, ent-1a, b) was achieved via the super acid-induced cyclization of chiral N-[1-methyl-2-(phenylsulfinyl)ethyl]-N-(1-phenylethyl)formamides (4a, b, ent-4a, b) using the Pummerer-type cyclizationreaction as a key step. The cyclization leading to the isoquinoline ring proceeded in a quantitative manner

The present invention provides compounds and composition comprising analogs of deprenyl and their use in the inhibition of nuclear GAPDH-Siahl binding and the activation of p300 and MEF2. Also provided herein are methods of prevention and treatment of stress induced disorders of the body, including, for example, major mental illness, such as schizophrenia, mood disorders, and addiction, as well as stress-associated diseases involving other organs, such as cardiac hypertrophy, in vivo, comprising administering to a mammal a therapeutically effective amount of analogs of deprenyl.
