To develop novel neuroprotective agents, a library of novel arylalkenylpropargylamines was synthesized and tested for inhibitory activities against monoamine oxidases. From this, a number of highly potent and selective monoamine oxidase B inhibitors were identified. Selected compounds were also tested for neuroprotection in in vitro studies with PC-12 cells treated with 6-OHDA and rotenone, respectively. It was observed that some of the compounds tested yielded a marked increase in survival in PC-12 cells treated with the neurotoxins. This indicates that these propargylamines are able to confer protection against the effects of the toxins and may also be considered as novel disease-modifying anti-Parkinsonian agents, which are much needed for the therapy of Parkinson's disease.

Seventeen 2-aryl-3-haloallylamine derivatives were prepared and evaluated as inhibitors of monoamine oxidase (MAO, EC 1.4.3.4). The synthesis of these compounds was achieved from either α-methylstyrene or ring-substituted phenylacetic acid derivatives. Wi
