Product Application
Overview
MAO-IN-M30 dihydrochloride is a multifunctional, research-grade compound supplied by InvivoChem, recognized for its dual inhibitory activity against monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A) and monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B). With IC50 values of 37 nM and 57 nM, respectively, this compound demonstrates potent enzyme inhibition alongside brain-selective activity and the ability to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB).
Beyond MAO inhibition, MAO-IN-M30 is also known for its iron-chelating properties and free radical scavenging capacity, positioning it as a compound of interest in studies involving oxidative stress and neurodegeneration. Additionally, the presence of alkyne functional groups allows it to participate in click chemistry reactions, expanding its utility as a chemical probe.
Its multifunctional profile makes MAO-IN-M30 a versatile tool for investigating complex neurological pathways and disease models.

Mechanism of Action
MAO-IN-M30 dihydrochloride acts as an irreversible inhibitor of both MAO-A and MAO-B, enzymes responsible for the breakdown of monoamine neurotransmitters such as dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine. Inhibition of these enzymes leads to increased neurotransmitter availability, supporting studies of synaptic signaling and neurochemical balance.
In addition, its iron-chelating activity helps reduce metal-induced oxidative stress, while its free radical scavenging properties contribute to cellular protection. The compound has demonstrated neuroprotective effects in models of dexamethasone-induced apoptosis and shows neurorestorative activity in MPTP and lactacystin models of Parkinson’s disease.
Its alkyne groups further enable copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC), allowing selective conjugation with azide-containing molecules for labeling or tracking purposes.

Research Applications
MAO-IN-M30 dihydrochloride is widely used in neuroscience and pharmacology research, particularly in studies of neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s disease. It supports investigations into MAO inhibition, oxidative stress modulation, and neuroprotection.
Researchers also utilize this compound in click chemistry-based applications, enabling precise molecular tagging and bioconjugation strategies. Its multifunctionality makes it suitable for both mechanistic studies and compound development workflows.
InvivoChem provides MAO-IN-M30 dihydrochloride with full documentation, including COA, SDS, and instructions for use, ensuring consistent performance in laboratory settings.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
MAO-A 37 nM (IC50) MAO-B 57 nM (IC50)
MAO-IN-M30 dihydrochloride targets monoamine oxidase enzymes, specifically both the MAO-A and MAO-B isoforms. These are key enzymes in the brain responsible for the oxidative deamination of neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine. By irreversibly inhibiting both isoforms, it increases the levels of these monoamines in the synaptic cleft, which is a mechanism relevant to neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders.
ln Vitro
After being exposed to dexamethasone for 72 hours, MAO-IN-M30 (0.25 nM) dramatically enhanced cell viability to approximately 90%[3]. Over a 24-hour period, MAO-IN-M30 (0–10 μM) improves PC12 cell survival[4]. In SH-SY5Y cells, MAO-IN-M30 therapy dramatically reduces the incidence of fragmented DNA when compared to the dexamethasone-treated group[3].
In vitro, MAO-IN-M30 dihydrochloride (0.25 nM, 72 hours) significantly increased cell viability to approximately 90% in SH-SY5Y cells after exposure to dexamethasone-induced apoptosis. It also enhanced PC12 cell survival at concentrations of 0-10 μM over 24 hours. Treatment with the compound significantly decreased the occurrence of fragmented DNA compared to the dexamethasone-treated group in SH-SY5Y cells, confirming its neuroprotective effect.
ln Vivo
Neuroprotective properties are exhibited by MAO-IN-M30 (0.5-2.5 mg/kg; po; once daily for 14 consecutive days)[6].
In vivo, MAO-IN-M30 dihydrochloride (0.5-2.5 mg/kg; p.o.; once daily for 14 consecutive days) possesses neuroprotective activities. It has demonstrated neuro-restorative activity in MPTP and lactacystin models of Parkinson's disease. The compound's ability to cross the blood-brain barrier and its multifunctional mechanism (MAO inhibition, iron chelation, and radical scavenging) contribute to its efficacy in these models.
Enzyme Assay
Non-cell-based enzyme assays are used to evaluate MAO-IN-M30 dihydrochloride's inhibitory activity against MAO-A and MAO-B. The compound is incubated with the respective enzyme and a suitable substrate, such as kynuramine. The production of the fluorescent metabolite, 4-hydroxyquinoline, is measured to determine enzyme activity. IC50 values are calculated from inhibition curves by plotting inhibitor concentration against residual enzyme activity and using non-linear regression analysis.
Cell Assay
Cell Viability Assay[3]
Cell Types: SH-SY5Y cells
Tested Concentrations: 0.25 nM
Incubation Duration: 72 hrs (hours)
Experimental Results: Dramatically increased cell viability to ∼90% after exposure to Dexamethasone.
Cell Viability Assay[4]
Cell Types: PC12 cells
Tested Concentrations: 0-10 μM
Incubation Duration: 24 hrs (hours)
Experimental Results: Enhanced the PC12 cell viability, the cell viability increasing to 85 ± 6 and 90 ± 7%.
For in vitro cellular assays, cell lines like SH-SY5Y and PC12 are cultured in appropriate media. Cells are pre-incubated with various concentrations of MAO-IN-M30 dihydrochloride for a set period (e.g., 24-72 hours). To induce apoptosis, cells may be exposed to dexamethasone. Cell viability is then assessed using assays such as MTT or by measuring DNA fragmentation. The protective effect of the compound is determined by comparing cell viability in treated versus untreated control groups.
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Male C57/BL mice (20-22 g; MPTP-induced neurotoxicity in mice)[6]
Doses: 0.5, 2.5 mg/kg
Route of Administration: Po; one time/day for 14 days
Experimental Results: Dramatically elevate striatal dopamine levels, reduce its metabolism, and elevate tyrosine-hydroxylase protein levels and activity. Elevated MPTP-decreased dopaminergic and transferrin receptor cell count in the SNpc.
For in vivo animal studies, MAO-IN-M30 dihydrochloride is typically administered orally to rodents (e.g., mice). In the MPTP Parkinson's disease model, the compound is given once daily for 14 consecutive days at doses ranging from 0.5 to 2.5 mg/kg. Following treatment, neuroprotective and neurorestorative effects are assessed by evaluating behavioral outcomes and histopathological markers of dopaminergic neuron survival in the brain.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
MAO-IN-M30 dihydrochloride is an orally active compound that can cross the blood-brain barrier. Its molecular weight is 299.2 g/mol. For in vitro use, it is soluble in DMSO (2 mg/mL) with ultrasonic and warming assistance. Stock solutions should be stored at -80°C for up to 6 months or at -20°C for up to 1 month, sealed and away from moisture. The compound is intended for research use only.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The toxicity profile of MAO-IN-M30 dihydrochloride is not extensively detailed in the provided literature. As with other MAO inhibitors, potential adverse effects could include those related to increased monoamine levels. However, the compound is noted for its neuroprotective properties against dexamethasone-induced apoptosis. It is for research use only and should be handled with standard laboratory safety precautions.
