Design, Synthesis, Biological Evaluation, and In Silico Study of Tetrahydropyridines as Prospective Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors

ChemistryOpen, EarlyView.
This work investigates the selective inhibition of MAO enzymes by varying the substitution of electron‐withdrawing and donating groups on the phenyl rings of tetrahydropyridines (4 a–4 o). Compounds 4 l and 4 n exhibit promising IC50 values of 0.40±0.05 and 1.01±0.03 μM against MAO‐A and MAO‐B, respectively.
