Recombinant MAO-A and MAO-B were used in MAO inhibitory activity assays using kynuramine (0.06 mM) and benzylamine (0.3 mM) as substrates, respectively [23 (link)]. The MAO-A and MAO-B reactions were carried out at 25 °C and monitored for 30 min at 316 and 250 nm, respectively, in 0.5 mL mixture of 50 mM sodium phosphate (pH 7.2). Clorgyline and toloxatone were the drug references used for MAO-A, and pargyline and lazabemide were used for MAO-B as reference compounds. The IC50 values were determined by measuring the residual activity at different concentrations of the compounds and by using GraphPad Prism software 5.0. The Km value of benzylamine against MAO-B was measured to be 0.40 mM [24 (link)]. On the other hand, multitarget analysis, ChE (AChE, BChE) inhibitory activity assays were carried out at 25 °C and monitored for 15 min at 412 nm in a 0.5 mL mixture of 100 mM sodium phosphate (pH 7.5). BACE1 inhibitory activities were tested by the BACE1 activity detection kit. The assay method was described previously [25 (link)]. Recombinant human MAO-A and MAO-B, AChE from Electrophorus electricus, BChE from equine serum, BACE1, and their substrates and reference inhibitors were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA).

For synthesis, isatin derivatives, hydrazine hydrate, and benzoic acid were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA) and TCI Chemical (Toshima, Tokyo, Japan). Substrates (benzylamine and kynuramine) and reference inhibitors (clorgyline, lazabemide, pargyline, and toloxatone) as well as recombinant human MAO-A and MAO-B were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich. Reversibility test was performed by using Dialyzer DiaEasy™ (6–8 kDa, BioVision, St. Grove, MA, USA).

Fluorescence-Based Evaluation of MAO Inhibition

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Activity measurements for MAO-A and MAO-B were carried out as reported in the literature [104 (link),105 (link)]. Recombinant human MAO-A and MAO-B were obtained commercially (Sigma-Aldrich, Saint Louis, MO, USA) and were used as enzyme sources. Kynuramine is a non-specific substrate and served as the substrate for both MAO isoforms. The MAOs metabolize kynuramine to produce 4-hydroxyquinoline, which was measured at the endpoint of the enzyme reactions by fluorescence spectrophotometry. By evaluating the fluorescence of 4-hydroxyquinoline (~3–6 µM) in the absence and presence of the test inhibitors (1 and 10 µM), it was established that, under the experimental conditions, resveratrol and the analogs evaluated here did not fluoresce or quench the fluorescence of 4-hydroxyquinoline.

Measurement of MAO-A and MAO-B Activities

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The catalytic activities of MAO-A and MAO-B were measured as reported in literature [26, 38] . Recombinant human MAO-A and MAO-B are commercially available (Sigma-Aldrich) and served as enzyme sources. Kynuramine was used as MAO-A/B non-specific substrate and is oxidized by the MAOs to ultimately yield 4-hydroxyquinoline, which was measured by fluorescence spectrophotometry. The in vitro measurement of MAO activity was approved by the North-West University Animal Care, Health and Safety Research Ethics Committee (NWU-A-nimCareREC) with the following ethics number: NWU-00572-19-A5 (A. and J. Petzer).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
