Development of novel fluorine-18 labeled PET radioligands for monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Monoamine oxidases (MAO-A and MAO-B) are important enzymes regulating the levels of monoaminergic neurotransmitters. Selectiv e and irreversible MAO-B inhibitors such as L -deprenyl and rasagiline are clinically used for the t reatment of ...

Psychedelics, entactogens and psychoplastogens for depression and related disorders

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Currently, the most actively investigated rapidly acting antidepressants, anxiolytics and/or anti PTSD agents, include psychedelics e.g. psilocybin, LSD, N,N‐dimethyltryptamine, ayahuasca; non‐hallucinogenic entactogens, e.g. MDMA; psychoplastogens which rapidly promote neuroplasticity, e.g.

Mechanism-based tuning of insect 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetaldehyde synthase for synthetic bioproduction of benzylisoquinoline alkaloids

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
Bioproduction of tetrahydropapaveroline (THP) is limited by the specificity of monoamine oxidase (MAO). Here, the authors identify an insect 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetaldehyde synthase (DHPAAS) that can bypass MAO for direct aldehyde production and ...

3,4‐Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) does not induce robust psychomotor activation and 50‐kHz ultrasonic vocalisations in tryptophan hydroxylase 2 (Tph2)‐deficient rats lacking serotonin in the central nervous system

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose 3,4‐Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), commonly known as ecstasy, is a psychostimulant with entactogenic properties and known to induce arousal and euphoria. As an amphetamine derivate, MDMA acts on the monoamine systems in the brain and stimulates release of dopamine (DA), noradrenaline (NA) and serotonin (5‐HT), yet their ...
