The Inhibition of Monoamine Oxidase by Esomeprazole [PDF]
Virtual screening of a library of drugs has suggested that esomeprazole, the S-enantiomer of omeprazole, may possess binding affinities for the active sites of the monoamine oxidase (MAO) A and B enzymes. Based on this finding, the current study examines the MAO inhibitory properties of esomeprazole. Using recombinant human MAO-A and MAO-B, IC50 values

Deciphering the skeletal interoceptive circuitry to control bone homeostasis
This review introduces the skeletal interoceptive circuitry, covering the ascending signals from bone tissues to the brain (sensors), the central neural circuits that integrate this information and dispatch commands (CPU), and the descending pathways that regulate bone homeostasis (effectors).

Expression regulation of MAO isoforms in monocytic cells in response to Th2 cytokines [PDF]
Background: Th2-cytokines, such as interleukins-4 and –13 (IL-4, IL-13), have been identified as alternative stimuli of monocytes/macrophages. We have recently profiled the gene-expression pattern of IL-4-teated human peripheral monocytes and found that ...

Synthesis of the flavocoenzyme of monoamine oxidase [PDF]
Reaction scheme is entirely in accord with our own conclusion that the go-substituent in the case of MAO-flavin must be a functional group devoid of acid-base properties, though capable of donating electrons to and accepting excitons from the flavin nucleus.

Serotonergic modulators in Alzheimer's disease: a hope in the hopeless condition
Alzheimer disease (AD) is the main cause of dementia worldwide. AD is a progressive brain neurodegenerative disease due to genetic and environmental factors that induce a progressive accumulation of intracellular hyperphosphorylated tau protein and extracellular amyloid protein (Aβ).

MONOAMINE OXIDASE A (MAOA), CHILDHOOD TRAUMA, ALCOHOLISM AND AGGRESSION [PDF]
Women who have experienced childhood sexual abuse (CSA) have an increased risk of alcoholism and antisocial personality disorder (ASPD). Among males, a functional polymorphism (MAOA-LPR, monoamine oxidase A linked polymorphic region) in the promoter ...

Activity of Novel Tryptophan Analogs against Mammalian and Trypanosomal Monoamine Oxidases [PDF]
Monoamine oxidases were assayed in live Trypanosoma brucei brucei and in trypanosomal homogenate using the oxygen electrode method. Serotonin and tryptamine were used as standard monomine oxidase A and B substrates, respectively.

ABSTRACT The subfamily Gomphrenoideae is composed of about 480 accepted species, many of which have been historically used as medicinal plants, reason why they have been studied in terms of chemical profile, biological activity, and safety. This review consolidates the advances in research on this subfamily over the past 47 years, emphasizing its ...

Smoking-induced long-lasting modifications of human platelet serotonin catabolism through a MAO epigenetic regulation [PDF]
Postulating that serotonin, secreted from smoking-activated platelets, could be involved in smoking-induced vascular modifications, we studied 115 men distributed in smokers (S), former smokers (FS) and never smokers (NS).
