Monoamine oxidase A and B share roughly 70% of their structure and both have substrate binding sites that are predominantly hydrophobic. Two tyrosine residues (398, 435 within MAO-B , 407 and 444 within MAO-A ) in the binding pocket that are commonly involved in inhibitor activity have been hypothesized to be relevant to orienting substrates ...
Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) are a class of drugs that inhibit the activity of one or both monoamine oxidase enzymes: monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A) and monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B). They are best known as effective antidepressants , especially for treatment-resistant depression and atypical depression . [ 1 ]

Monoamine oxidase A, also known as MAO-A, is an enzyme (E.C. 1.4.3.4) that in humans is encoded by the MAOA gene. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] This gene is one of two neighboring gene family members that encode mitochondrial enzymes which catalyze the oxidative deamination of amines , such as dopamine , norepinephrine , and serotonin .
Monoamine oxidases MAO-A and MAO-B play vital roles in the degradation and inactivation of monoamine neurotransmitters such as serotonin and epinephrine. [4] Monoamine oxidases are important drug targets, targeted by MAO inhibitors (MAOIs) such as selegiline. Glutamate dehydrogenase play an important role in oxidative deamination.
Pargyline shares its mechanism of action, monoamine oxidase inhibition, with a class of antidepressants that includes phenelzine, tranylcypromine, and isocarboxazid, among others. [18] [6] [7] However, unlike other MAOIs, pargyline itself was never licensed for treatment of depression.
MAOIs, or monoamine oxidase inhibitors, were the first type of antidepressants developed. They have largely been replaced by drugs with fewer side effects. ... “If we have a better understanding ...
Tranylcypromine, sold under the brand name Parnate among others, [1] is a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI). [4] [7] More specifically, tranylcypromine acts as nonselective and irreversible inhibitor of the enzyme monoamine oxidase (MAO).
