Inhibition of Monoamine Oxidase by Pirlindole Analogues:  3D-QSAR and CoMFA Analysis

Abstract: A series of pyrazinocarbazoles, analogues of short acting antidepressant pirlindole (2,3,3a,4,5,6-hexahydro-8-methyl-1H-pyrazino[3,2,1-j,k]carbazole hydrochloride), were tested as inhibitors of monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A) and B (MAO-B). Rigid analogues exhibited potent and selective inhibition of MAO-A and have size limits (X:Y:Z) of 13.0 x 7.0 x 4.4 A. Besides MAO-A inhibition flexible analogues also demonstrated potent inhibition of MAO-B and in contrast to rigid analogues their inhibitory activity did not s… Show more

“…[39][40][41] In a similar way compound 14 was obtained from 2-methoxyresorcinol (13) 42 (Scheme 3). Compound 16 43 was prepared from 2,4-dihydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde (15) and was N-acetylated and treated with chloroacetone under Williamson conditions to give compound 18 in 60% overall yield. Treatment of 18 in a strong alkaline medium led to the furan ring, and subsequent hydrolysis of the amide group in an acidic medium afforded furocoumarin 20 in 63% overall yield (Scheme 4).…”

“…15 In this sense, the development of QSARs using simple molecular indices appears to be a promising alternative or complementary technique to drug-protein docking, highthroughput screening, and combinatorial chemistry techniques. Almost all QSAR techniques are based on the use of molecular descriptors, which are numerical series that codify useful chemical information and enable correlations between statistical and biological properties.…”

“…We used these studies to confirm the relevance of some of our biophores. For example, biophore #2 was found to be an important factor enhancing the interaction between the inhibitor and the protein core of the MAO enzyme [23,25,27]. …”
