The efficacy of the inhibitor binding into the unique substrate binding sites of MAO-A and MAO-B ultimately determines a drug s relative selectivity at inhibiting MAO-A, MAO-B, or both. The substrate binding sites of both MAO-A and MAO-B are mainly hydrophobic except for a conserved lysine that interacts with a water molecule.

MAO-B active site is composed of 2 cavities: the substrate cavity in front of the FAD and the entrance cavity. Safinamide - a drug tested for
Tyramine was the first known substrate for MAO, which had initially been referred to as tyramine oxidase, and may still today be a suitable in vivo probe drug for studying MAO activity. Although tyramine is a substrate of both MAO-A and MAO-B, the tyramine pressor response occurs only with MAO-A inhibition ( Finberg and Tenne, 2024 ; Finberg
The effects of small daily doses of MAOI are therefore cumulative. The biochemical effects of these drugs will involve several substrates of MAO, e.g. dopamine
by TJ Maher 2024We examined the effects of phentermine and several other unlabeled MAO inhibitors on MAO substrates. Phentermine inhibited serotonin-metabolizing (MAO
ant8,9 and anxiolytic drugs,10,11 whereas MAO-B inhibitors are used for the treatment of Parkinson s12,13 and Alzheimer s diseases.7 In contrast, a limited number of MAO substrates have been reported: Kynuramine14 (Fig. 1), a metabolite of melatonin,15 is a substrate for both MAO-A and B and used in in vitro MAO
by Y Ochiai 2024 Cited by 34In contrast, benzylamine, tyramine, and beta-phenylethylamine served as substrates for all of MAO-A, MAO-B, and SSAO. Each amine oxidase showed broad substrate
by RM Geha 2024 Cited by 194Our results indicate that Ile-335 in MAO A and Tyr-326 in MAO B play a critical role in determining substrate and inhibitor specificities in human MAO A and B.
