The in vitro monoamine oxidase inhibitory (MAOI) activities of 11 heteroarylisopropylamines vis-a-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.

The present invention describes the action of a new family of drugs against a number of
Leishmania
species and
Trypanosona cruzi
, for the treatment of cutaneous, mucocutaneous and visceral leishmaniosis as well as tripanosomosis. In vitro assays and studies conducted in animal models and in human patients demonstrated that the compounds had a higher activity compared to drugs in clinical use against
Leishmania mexicana amazonensis, L. donovani infantum, L. braziliensis braziliensis
and
Trypanosoma cruzi.
The pharmaceutical activity of compositions based on such family of compounds was evidenced and supports its human and veterinary application for the treatment of the above-mentioned diseases by using different administration routes.
