Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2006 Aug 1;16(15):4135-40. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2006.04.026. Epub 2006 Jun 12.

Abstract

A novel series of N,N'-bis[2-oxo-2H-1-benzopyran]-3-carboxamide derivatives have been synthesized and investigated for the ability to inhibit the activity of the A and B isoforms of monoamine oxidase (MAO). Some of the synthesized compounds show good selective inhibitory activity against the MAO-A isoform. Both the MAO-A and -B isoforms, deposited in the Protein Data Bank as the 2BXR and 1GOS models, respectively, were considered in a computational study performed with docking techniques on the most active and selective inhibitors.
