Abstract

Abstract We report the synthesis and in vitro studies as MAO inhibitors of 2 series of new acetylenic and allenic derivatives of 2-(5-benzyloxyindolyl)-and 2-(5-hydroxyindolyl) methylamines and their indolylmethylamine precursors. All compounds were MAO inhibitors and either did not show selectivity (the benzyloxy compounds 5) or were selective for MAO-A (most of the hydroxy compounds 7). Three of the studied compounds, 7d, 7g and 7i, were ...
