In the present study, a series of twenty-two 2-benzylidene-1-indanone derivatives were synthesised and evaluated as inhibitors of recombinant human monoamine oxidase (MAO) A and B. The 2-benzylidene-1-indanone derivatives are structurally related to a series of benzylideneindanone derivatives which has previously been found to be MAO-B inhibitors. This study finds that the 2-benzylidene-1-indanones are MAO-B specific inhibitors with IC50values 50?50?=?0.131?μM). An analysis of the structure–activity relationships for MAO-B inhibition show that substitution on the A-ring with a 5-hydroxy group and on the B-ring with halogens and the methyl group yield high potency inhibition. It may therefore be concluded that 2-benzylidene-1-indanone analogues are promising leads for design of therapies for disorders such as Parkinson's disease.
