Abstract: Based on reports that chromone compounds are good potency inhibitors of monoamine oxidase (MAO), the present study evaluates the effect of substitution with flexible side chains on the 3 position on MAO inhibition potency. Fifteen chromone derivatives were synthesised by reacting aromatic and aliphatic amines and alcohols with chromone 3-carboxylic acid in the presence of carbonyldiimidazole (CDI). This yielded chromane-2,4-dione and ester chromone derivatives. Generally, the esters exhibited weak MAO inhibition, while the chromane-2,4-dione derivatives showed promise as selective MAO-B inhibitors with IC50 values in the micromolar range. Compound 14b, 3-[(benzylamino)methylidene]-3,4-dihydro-2H-1-benzopyran-2,4-dione, was the most potent MAO-B inhibitor with an IC50 value of 638?μM. This compound was shown to be a reversible and competitive MAO-B inhibitor with a Ki of 94?μM. In conclusion, the effect of chain elongation and introduction of flexible substituents on position 3 of chromone were explored and the results showed that aminomethylidene substitution is preferable over ester substitution. Good potency MAO-B inhibitors may act as leads for the design and development of therapy for Parkinson’s disease where these agents reduce the central metabolism of dopamine.

Investigations on peri-, regio- and stereoselectivities in thermal cycloadditions involving C-(4-oxo-4H[1]benzopyran-3-yl)-N-phenylnitrones: Role of steric factors and secondary interactions in 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions

Complete peri-, regio- and stereoselectivities in thermal reactions of C-(4-oxo-4H[1]benzopyran-3-yl)-N-phenylnitrones with both electron-rich and electron-deficient olefins have been investigated. This conjugated nitrone undergoes frontier-orbital (LUMO-
