title: Acetylenic and allenic derivatives of 2-(5-methoxy-1-methylindolyl)alkylamines as selective inhibitors of MAO-A and MAO-B.
abstract: A new series of thirty derivatives of 2-(5-methoxy-1-methylindolyl)alkylamines has been synthesized and the compounds assayed as inhibitors of MAO-A and MAO-B from bovine brain mitochondria. IC50 values for both isoenzymes were determined using tyramine as a common substrate. Structure-activity and selectivity relationships are discussed.
