was isolated from the ethyl acetate fraction of S.
flavescens radix as reported in our earlier work.16 (link) Recombinant Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) and
human embryonic kidney (HEK-293) cells were generated by Eurofins
Discovery (Le Bois I′ Eveque, France). ThermoFisher Scientific
(Madison, U.S.A.) provided cell-culture media such as Roswell Park
Memorial Institute (RPMI-1641), Dulbecco’s modified Eagle medium
buffer, Hank’s balanced salt solution (HBSS) buffer, and 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic
acid (HEPES) buffer. The MAO-A/B assay kit was acquired from Promega
(Promega Cooperation, Madison, WI). The recombinant hMAO isoenzymes
and the reference drugs:
clozapine, (+) butaclamol, SCH 23390, (S)-WAY-100635, and [d(CH2)51, Tyr(Me)2]-AVP were supplied
by Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA). The remaining chemicals of
reagent grade were procured from commercial suppliers.
