Abstract

Abstract A series of phenoxy-substituted methylimidazoline derivatives were synthesized and used to define the ligand recognition properties of the imidazoline-binding domain (IBD) on monoamine oxidase (MAO)-B and its role in substrate processing. The rank order of potency for selected compounds in competitive binding studies with the imidazoline [3 H] idazoxan was different from that in enzyme activity assays, suggesting that the IBD and the ...
