5-(Aminomethyl)-3-aryldihydrofuran-2(3H)-ones, a new class of monoamine oxidase-B inactivators

J Med Chem. 1992 Mar 6;35(5):885-9. doi: 10.1021/jm00083a012.

Abstract

Both cis- and trans-5-(aminomethyl)-3-aryldihydrofuran-2(3H)-one hydrochloride salts (9 and 10) were synthesized efficiently in a 5-step sequence from arylacetic acids. Both compounds were found to be irreversible inactivators of monoamine oxidase B. These compounds constitute the first members of a new class of monoamine oxidase inactivators.
