Hadizadeh F, Ghodsi R Synthesis of novel N-substituted imidazolecarboxylic acid hydrazides as monoamine oxidase inhibitors. [Journal Article] Farmaco 2005 Mar; 60(3):237-40.
Novel 2-alkylsulfanyl-1-benzyl-5-imidazolecarboxylic acid hydrazides (15a,b) were synthesized as analogues of isocarboxazide, which is a known nonselective irreversible monoamine oxidase inhibitor and tested for monoamine oxidase A and B inhibitory activity. Neither of the compounds showed any inhibition of MAO B activity up to a high concentration of 100 microM. An MAO A activity was only slowly inhibited at this high concentration after prolonged incubation with either compound. This suggests any observed inhibition is not very specific.
