    Abstract

    A new series of synthetic flavones, thioflavones, and flavanones has been synthesized and evaluated as potential inhibitors of monoamine oxidase isoforms (MAO-A and -B). The most active series is the flavanone one with higher selective inhibitory activity against MAO-B. Some of these flavanones (mainly the most effective) have been separated and tested as single enantiomers. In order to investigate the MAOs recognition of the most active and selective compounds, a molecular modeling study has been performed using available Protein Data Bank (PDB) structures as receptor models for docking experiments.
