Product Description
Brofaromine (CGP 11305A) is a MAO (monoamine oxidase) inhibitor that can suppress MAO-A with IC50 of 0.2 μM.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Monoamine oxidase (MAO)
ln Vitro
The impact of brofaromine (CGP 11305A, BRO) on MAO-A activity in cultured cortical cells was assessed in order to assess if the protective effect is connected to the inhibition of MAO-A or results from alternative mechanisms. MAO-A activity in cultured cortical cells was demonstrated to be substantial in the first place, and bromofaromine was found to block this enzyme in a concentration-dependent way. Bromfaramine has an IC50 of 0.19 μM. There is a 0.96 Hill coefficient. At 10 μM, the enzyme was nearly entirely inhibited. In our cultured cortical cells, brofaromine suppresses MAO-A activity in a concentration-dependent way. The IC50 range for brofaromine is 0.01 μM to 0.1 μM[1].

Additional Infomation
Studies have shown that the monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) inhibitor selegiline (DPR) can protect certain cell types from oxidative stress damage. MAO-A inhibitors can alleviate oxidative stress by reducing the production of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂). This study reports the effects of MAO-A inhibitors pirlinindole (PIR), dehydropyrlinindole (DHP), bromofaromin (BRO), and moclobemide (MCL) on primary cultured brain cells exposed to iron-mediated toxicity. This study also compared the effects of the water-soluble vitamin E analog Trolox (TRO), which protects cells from this type of induced stress damage. Rat hippocampal or cortical cultured cells were exposed to 2 μM FeSO₄, or co-exposed to PIR, DHP, BRO, DPR, MCL, or TRO. This study evaluated cell viability (lactate dehydrogenase assay, 16 h incubation), intracellular peroxide production (DCF fluorescence assay, 1 h incubation), lipid peroxidation (TBARS fluorescence assay, 6 h incubation), and mitochondrial function (MTT assay, 16 h incubation). PIR, DHP, and TRO significantly protected cell cultures from Fe²⁺-induced toxic damage in a concentration-dependent manner (P < 0.05). In hippocampal cells, the EC₅₀ values of these compounds were 6, 12, and 19 μM, respectively. In cortical cell cultures containing iron and PIR or DHP, the EC₅₀ values were 5 and 6 μM, respectively. All Hill coefficients were close to 1. BRO, MCL, and DPR showed no protective effect in any type of cell culture. The IC50 values of PIR, DHP, and BRO against MAO-A were 2, 2, and 0.2 μM, respectively. PIR, DHP, and TRO (but not DPR) all significantly reduced intracellular peroxide production and lipid peroxidation levels, and improved mitochondrial function. These experiments suggest that, at pharmacologically relevant concentrations, PIR and DHP can protect hippocampal and cortical neurons from oxidative stress damage. This protective effect appears to be independent of MAO-A inhibition, but may be related to free radical scavenging. [1]

  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
