Predicting blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeation remains a challenge in drug design. Since it is impossible to determine experimentally the BBB partitioning of large numbers preclinical candidates, alternative evaluation methods based on computerized models are desirable. The present study was conducted demonstrate value descriptors derived from 3D molecular fields estimating set compounds and produce simple mathematical model suitable for external prediction. method used (VolSurf) transforms...
A set of 17 coumarin and 2 chromone derivatives with known inhibitory activity toward monoamine oxidase (MAO) B were tested as acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors. All compounds inhibited AChE values in the micromolar range (3-100 microM). kinetic study showed that most acted noncompetitive This finding may be interest context Alzheimer's disease because recent observations suggest MAO inhibition might decrease beta-amyloid deposition.
A large series of coumarin derivatives (71 compounds) were tested for their monoamine oxidase and B (MAO-A MAO-B) inhibitory activity. Most the compounds acted preferentially on MAO-B with IC50 values in micromolar to low-nanomolar range; high activities toward MAO-A also measured sulfonic acid esters. The most active compound was 7-[(3,4-difluorobenzyl)oxy]-3,4-dimethylcoumarin, an value 1.14 nM. QSAR study 7-X-benzyloxy meta-substituted 3,4-dimethylcoumarin acting yielded good statistical...
