Abstract
Mammalian flavoenzyme Monoamine oxidase (MAO) resides on the outer mitochondrial membrane (OMM) and it is involved in the metabolism of different monoamine neurotransmitters in brain. During MAO mediated oxidative deamination of relevant substrates, H2O2 is released as a catalytic by-product, thus serving as a major source of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Under normal conditions, MAO mediated ROS is reported to propel the functioning of mitochondrial electron transport chain and phasic dopamine release. However, due to its localization onto mitochondria, sudden elevation in its enzymatic activity could directly impact the form and function of the organelle. For instance, in the case of Parkinson's disease (PD) patients who are on l-dopa therapy, the enzyme could be a concurrent source of extensive ROS production in the presence of uncontrolled substrate (dopamine) availability, thus further impacting the health of surviving neurons. It is worth mentioning that the expression of the enzyme in different brain compartments increases with age. Moreover, the involvement of MAO in the progression of neurological disorders such as PD, Alzheimer's disease and depression has been extensively studied in recent times. Although the usage of available synthetic MAO inhibitors has been instrumental in managing these conditions, the associated complications have raised significant concerns lately. Natural products have served as a major source of lead molecules in modern-day drug discovery; however, there is still no FDA-approved MAO inhibitor which is derived from natural sources. In this review, we have provided a comprehensive overview of MAO and how the enzyme system is involved in the pathogenesis of different age-associated neuropathologic conditions. We further discussed the applications and drawbacks of the long-term usage of presently available synthetic MAO inhibitors. Additionally, we have highlighted the prospect and worth of natural product derived molecules in addressing MAO associated complications.

MAOB expression correlates with a favourable prognosis in prostate cancer, and its genetic variants are associated with the metastasis of the disease. J Cell Mol Med 2024; 28:e18229. [PMID: 38520217 PMCID: PMC10960177 DOI: 10.1111/jcmm.18229] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2024] [Revised: 02/21/2024] [Accepted: 02/24/2024] [Indexed: 03/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Monoamine oxidase B (MAOB), a neurotransmitter-degrading enzyme, was reported to reveal conflicting roles in various cancers. However, the functional role of MAOB and impacts of its genetic variants on prostate cancer (PCa) is unknown. Herein, we genotyped four loci of MAOB single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), including rs1799836 (A/G), rs3027452 (G/A), rs6651806 (A/C) and rs6324 (G/A) in 702 PCa Taiwanese patients. We discovered that PCa patients carrying the MAOB rs6324 A-allele exhibited an increased risk of having a high initial prostate-specific antigen (iPSA) level (>10 ng/mL). Additionally, patients with the rs3027452 A-allele had a higher risk of developing distal metastasis, particularly in the subpopulation with high iPSA levels. In a subpopulation without postoperative biochemical recurrence, patients carrying the rs1799836 G-allele had a higher risk of developing lymph node metastasis and recurrence compared to those carrying the A-allele. Furthermore, genotype screening in PCa cell lines revealed that cells carrying the rs1799836 G-allele expressed lower MAOB levels than those carrying the A-allele. Functionally, overexpression and knockdown of MAOB in PCa cells respectively suppressed and enhanced cell motility and proliferation. In clinical observations, correlations of lower MAOB expression levels with higher Gleason scores, advanced clinical T stages, tumour metastasis, and poorer prognosis in PCa patients were noted. Our findings suggest that MAOB may act as a suppressor of PCa progression, and the rs3027452 and rs1799836 genetic variants of MAOB are linked to PCa metastasis within the Taiwanese population.

Effect of Hydroxytyrosol Derivatives of Donepezil on the Activity of Enzymes Involved in Neurodegenerative Diseases and Oxidative Damage. Molecules 2024; 29:548.

Abstract
Monoamine oxidase and xanthine oxidase inhibitors represent useful multi-target drugs for the prevention, attenuation, and treatment of oxidative damage and neurodegenerative disorders. Chimeric molecules, constituted by naturally derived compounds linked to drugs, represent lead compounds to be explored for the discovery of new synthetic drugs acting as enzyme inhibitors. We have previously reported that seven hydroxytyrosol-donepezil hybrid compounds play a protective role in an in vitro neuronal cell model of Alzheimer's disease. In this work, we analyzed the effects exerted by the hybrid compounds on the activity of monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A) and B (MAO-B), as well as on xanthine oxidase (XO), enzymes involved in both neurodegenerative disorders and oxidative stress. The results pointed to the identification, among the compounds tested, of selective inhibitors between the two classes of enzymes. While the 4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenethyl 1-benzylpiperidine-4-carboxylate- (HT3) and the 4-hydroxyphenethyl 1-benzylpiperidine-4-carboxylate- donepezil derivatives (HT4) represented the best inhibitors of MAO-A, with a scarce effect on MAO-B, they were almost ineffective on XO. On the other hand, the 4,5-dihydroxy-2-nitrophenethyl 1-benzylpiperidine-4-carboxylate donepezil derivative (HT2), the least efficient MAO inhibitor, acted like the best XO inhibitor. Therefore, the differential enzymatic targets identified among the hybrid compounds synthesized enhance the possible applications of these polyphenol-donepezil hybrids in neurodegenerative disorders and oxidative stress.

Abstract
With the significant growth of patients suffering from neurodegenerative diseases (NDs), novel classes of compounds targeting monoamine oxidase type B (MAO-B) are promptly emerging as distinguished structures for the treatment of the latter. As a promising function of computer-aided drug design (CADD), structure-based virtual screening (SBVS) is being heavily applied in processes of drug discovery and development. The utilization of molecular docking, as a helping tool for SBVS, is providing essential data about the poses and the occurring interactions between ligands and target molecules. The current work presents a brief discussion of the role of MAOs in the treatment of NDs, insight into the advantages and drawbacks of docking simulations and docking software, and a look into the active sites of MAO-A and MAO-B and their main characteristics. Thereafter, we report new chemical classes of MAO-B inhibitors and the essential fragments required for stable interactions focusing mainly on papers published in the last five years. The reviewed cases are separated into several chemically distinct groups. Moreover, a modest table for rapid revision of the revised works including the structures of the reported inhibitors together with the utilized docking software and the PDB codes of the crystal targets applied in each study is provided. Our work could be beneficial for further investigations in the search for novel, effective, and selective MAO-B inhibitors.

Monoamino oxidase alleles correlate with the presence of essential hypertension among hypogonadic patients. Mol Genet Genomic Med 2019; 8:e1040. [PMID: 31743621 PMCID: PMC6978270 DOI: 10.1002/mgg3.1040] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/12/2019] [Revised: 10/04/2019] [Accepted: 10/11/2019] [Indexed: 01/12/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity has been traditionally implicated in blood pressure through its effects on biogenic amine levels such as catecholamines, serotonin, and dopamine. Nowadays, this role is considered relegated to side‐effects such as orthostatic hypotension and/or hypertensive crisis derived from MAO‐inhibitory treatments in patients with psychiatric disease. Methods In the present work we have found an association between a polymorphic variant of MAOB gene and arterial hypertension in obese hypogonadic patients. The study cases comprised a series of 219 nondiabetic males with a body mass index ≥30 kg/m2 and aged <45 years. Hypogonadism was defined as subnormal testosterone concentrations, when free testosterone values ranged <65 pg/ml. Results MAOB rs3027452‐A allele carriers were significantly over‐represented among hypertensive (HT) patients (25.49%) in comparison to either the non‐HT patients (10%, OR = 3.079 CI95 [1.364–6.952], p = .005, Chi‐square test) and the control population series of nonobese nor hypogonadic males (also 10%, p = .003 Chi‐square test). Upon adjusted, an independent association was shown with the hypogonadic group with hypertension when compared with nonhypertensive hypogonadics (Beta = 3.653, p = .005). When quantitative analysis was performed, hypertensive patients harboring rs3027452‐A allele showed higher systolic blood pressure values (p = .038, Mann–Whitney U‐test) as well as an increased Systolic‐Diastolic range despite following HT treatment (∆mmHg 54 vs. 48 for rs3027452‐A and rs3027452‐G respectively, p‐value .019, Mann–Whitney U‐test). Previous studies on MAOB revealed that rs3027452‐A allele has been correlated to a lower activity of the enzyme, what gives a functional evidence over our observation. Conclusion If this result could be extrapolated to other hypertensive patient groups, it would implicate a review of the markers and therapeutic targets on human hypertension.
