organic syntheses. IC50 values for inhibition were determined for compounds 5, 10 and 15 in order to determine their specificity for binding to MAO-B. Compound 5 inhibited MAO-B with an IC50 of 664 ± 48.08 nM. No further investigation was carried out with this compound. Compound 10 inhibited MAO-B with an IC50 of 208.5 ± 13.44 nM and compound 15 featured an IC50 of 131.5 ± 0.71 nM for its MAO-B inhibitory
