Inhibition of monoamine oxidase by esters and peptides of aromatic amino acids.
Methyl esters of aromatic a-amino acids, peptides with N-terminal tyrosine and C-terminal arginine, and amides of peptides with N-terminal aromatic amino acids all inhibit monoamine oxidases A and B from rat liver mitochondria with an IC50 of 0.2-3 mM.
