8-Aminoquinolines (8-AQs) are important class of anti-infective therapeutics. 5-Phenoxy 8-aminoquinoline analogs have shown improved metabolic stability compared to primaquine. In view or predictive role of monoamine oxidases (MAO) in metabolism of 8-aminoquinolines the 5-phenoxy analogs were evaluated in vitro for the inhibition of recombinant human MAO-A and MAO-B. The analogs were several folds more potent inhibitors of MAO-A and MAO-B compared to primaquine, the parent drug, with selectivity for MAO-B. 5-(4-Trifluoromethylphenoxy)-4-methylprimaquine (6) Inhibited MAO-B with IC50 value of 150 nM (626-fold more potent than primaquine). These results will have important implications in optimizing metabolic stability of 8-AQs to improve therapeutic value and also indicate scope for development of 8-AQs as selective MAO inhibitors.
