title: Synthesis of some pyridazinylacetic acid derivatives as a novel class of monoamine oxidase-A inhibitors.
abstract: A series of new pyridazinylacetic acid derivatives were synthesized and have been investigated for their ability to inhibit the activity of the A and B isoforms of monoamine oxidase (MAO). All compounds were found to be more selective to the MAO-A isoform with compound 5d having the highest SI values. Computational study performed with a docking technique indicated the potential of these compounds in pyridazine-based MAO-A inhibitor drug development.
