MAO-A (Ki = 4.2 μM); MAO-B (Ki = 46 μM)

|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In human brain synaptosomes and human liver mitochondria, bifemelane inhibits MAO-A in a dose-dependent manner with Kis values of 4.2±0.2 and 14.1±0.7 μM, respectively [1]. In human brain synaptosomes and human liver mitochondria, bifemelane inhibits MAO-B activity in a dose-dependent manner with Kis values of 46.0±3.6 and 65.2±7.0 μM, respectively [1].
|
| ln Vivo |
Bifemelane (20-80 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection) decreases exploratory activity in the open field test in a dose-dependent manner [3]. In the forced swim test, Bifemelane (20-80 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection) shortens the immobility period [3], however the dose dependence is not evident and the maximum dosage of 20 mg/kg has been attained.

| Enzyme Assay |
4-(O-Benzylphenoxy)-N-methylbutylamine (Bifemelane, BP-N-methylbutylamine), a new psychotropic drug, was found to inhibit monoamine oxidase (MAO) in human brain synaptosomes. It inhibited type A MAO (MAO-A) competitively and type B (MAO-B) noncompetitively. BP-N-methylbutylamine had a much higher affinity to MAO-A than an amine substrate, kynuramine, and it was a more potent inhibitor of MAO-A than of MAO-B. The Ki values of MAO-A and -B were determined to be 4.20 and 46.0 microM, respectively, while the Km values of MAO-A and -B with kynuramine were 44.1 and 90.0 microM, respectively. The inhibition of MAO-A and -B by BP-N-methylbutylamine was found to be reversible by dialysis of the incubation mixture. MAO-A in human placental and liver mitochondria and in a rat clonal pheochromocytoma cell line, PC12h, was inhibited competitively by BP-N-methylbutylamine, while MAO-B in human liver mitochondria was inhibited noncompetitively, as in human brain synaptosomes. BP-N-methylbutylamine was not oxidized by MAO-A and -B. The effects of other BP-N-methylalkylamines, such as BP-N-methylethylamine, -propylamine, and -pentanylamine, on MAO activity were examined. BP-N-methylbutylamine was the most potent inhibitor of MAO-A, and BP-N-methylethylamine and -propylamine inhibited MAO-B competitively, whereas BP-N-methylbutylamine and -pentanylamine inhibited it noncompetitively. Inhibition of these BP-N-methylalkylamines on MAO-A and -B is discussed in relation to their chemical structure[1].

| Additional Infomation |
This study aims to explore emerging antidepressants that promise positive milestones, significant improvements, and substantial impacts in the treatment of patients with depression. Furthermore, this study elucidates the relationship between the agomelatine paradox and other novel antidepressants. These emerging antidepressants include: selective monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), such as bifemethylene blue, pirlinindole, toloxacin, selegiline, rasagiline, and safenamide; serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), such as ansofasin, nefopam, and levamisole; and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (NRIs), such as reboxetine, veloxacin, teniloxazine (also known as sulfadiazine or sufoxacin), and atormoxetine. Verazordone (a partial agonist of serotonin 5-HT1A autoreceptor with serotonin reuptake inhibition [SPARI]); vortioxetine (a serotonin receptor antagonist with serotonin reuptake inhibition [SARI]); atypical antipsychotics such as olanzapine, quetiapine, risperidone, lurasidone, aripiprazole, and buripiperazole; N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) glutamatergic neurotransmitter blockers such as ketamine, CP-101,606 (trosoprodil), GLYX-13 (lapastine), NRX-1074 (apilimustine), and riluzole. Agomelatine (a melatonin MT1 and MT2 receptor agonist and a selective 5-HT2B and 5-HT2C receptor antagonist [MASSA]) remains a complex drug that does not belong to any existing antidepressant class, and its pharmacological properties make it unsuitable for classification into another new class of antidepressants, contrary to previous reports. Finally, this review specifically advocates for the inclusion of atypical antipsychotics and NMDA-glutamatergic ion receptor blockers in a new class of antidepressants, as they play important clinical roles in the treatment of depression [2].

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
