Cysteamine (1) was reported many years ago to reversibly inhibit lentil seedling amine oxidase, through the formation of a complex with thioacetaldehyde, the turnover product of 1. Herein, cysteamine (1) and its analogs 2-(methylamino) ethanethiol (3) and 3- aminopropanethiol (6) were found to be reversible inhibitors of bovine plasma amine oxidase (BPAO), but 2-(methylthio) ethylamine (7) was determined to be a weak ...
