Abstract
Thirty compounds having 1-[2-(5-substituted-2-benzoxazolinone-3-yl) acetyl]-3,5-disubstitutedphenyl-2-pyrazoline structure and nine compounds having N'-(1,3-disubstitutedphenylallylidene)-2-(5-substituted- 2-benzoxazolinone-3-yl)-acetohydrazide skeleton were synthesized and evaluated as monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors. All of the compounds exhibited selective MAO-A inhibitor activity in the nanomolar or low micromolar range. The results of the molecular docking for hydrazone derivatives supported the in vitro results. Five compounds, 6 (0.008 mu M, Selectivity Index (SI): 9.70 x 10(-4)), 7 (0.009 mu M, SI: 4.55 x 10(-5)), 14 (0.001 mu M, SI: 8.00 x 10(-4)), 21 (0.009 mu M, SI: 1.37 x 10(-5)), and 42 (0.010 mu M, SI: 5.40 x 10(-6)), exhibiting the highest inhibition and selectivity toward hMAO-A and nontoxic to hepatocytes were assessed for antidepressant activity as acute and subchronic in mice. All of these five compounds showed significant antidepressant activity with subchronic administration consistent with the increase in the brain serotonin levels and the compounds crossed the blood-brain barrier according to parallel artificial membrane permeation assay. Compounds 14, 21, and 42 exhibited an ex vivo MAO-A profile, which is highly consistent with the in vitro data.
