Development of selective and reversible pyrazoline based MAO-A inhibitors: Synthesis, biological evaluation and docking studies.
3,5-Diaryl pyrazolines analogs were synthesized and evaluated for their monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitory activity. The compounds were found reversible and selective towards MAO-A with selectivity index in the magnitude of 10(3)-10(5). The docking studies were carried out to gain further structural insights of the binding mode and possible interactions with the active site of MAO-A. Interestingly, the theoretical (K(i)) values obtained by molecular docking studies were in congruence with their experimental (K(i)) values.
