Monoamine oxidase (MAO) is an important drug target for the treatment of neurological disorders. Several 3‐arylcoumarin derivatives were previously described as interesting selective MAO‐B inhibitors. Preserving the trans‐stilbene structure, a series of 2‐arylbenzofuran and corresponding 3‐arylcoumarin derivatives were synthesized and evaluated as inhibitors of both MAO isoforms, MAO‐A and MAO‐B. In general
单胺氧化酶(MAO)是治疗神经系统疾病的重要药物靶标。以前有几种3-芳基香豆素衍生物被描述为有趣的选择性MAO-B抑制剂。保留了反式二苯乙烯结构,合成了一系列的2-芳基苯并呋喃衍生物和相应的3-芳基香豆素衍生物,并将其评估为MAO-A和MAO-B的抑制剂。通常,发现两种类型的衍生物都是选择性的MAO-B抑制剂,IC 50值在纳摩尔至微摩尔范围内。5-硝基-2-(4-甲氧基苯基)苯并呋喃(8)是苯并呋喃系列中活性最高的化合物,具有MAO-B选择性和可逆抑制作用(IC 50 = 140 n M)。具有与化合物8相同的取代模式的3-(4'-甲氧基苯基)-6-硝基香豆素(15)被发现是香豆素系列中活性最高的MAO-B抑制剂(IC 50 = 3 n M) 。但是,3-苯基香豆素14的活性在相同范围内(IC 50 = 6 n M),可逆,并且选择性也比化合物15高出几倍。将最具活性的化合物对接到MAO
