Novel flavin adenine dinucleotide analogue inhibitors of monoamine oxidase

摘要

The present invention provides an inhibitor of monoamine oxidase comprising a modified synthetic flavin adenine dinucleotide compound. Also provided is a method of inhibiting monoamine oxidase enzymatic activity in a cell, comprising the step of contacting said cell with a pharmacologically effective dose of a modified synthetic flavin adenine dinucleotide compound. Further provided is a method of treating a brain pathophysiological state in an individual, comprising administering a therapeutically effective dose of a modified synthetic flavin adenine dinucleotide compound to said individual.
