A new series of 3-benzyl-2-substituted quinoxalines have been synthesized by means of microwave enhancement of nucleophilic substitution reaction involving the corresponding 2-chloroquinoxaline analogs and substituted amines or hydrazine. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their monoamine oxidase A and B inhibitory activity by determination of their IC(50). All the newly synthesized compounds showed more selective inhibitory activity toward MAO-A than MAO-B. In addition, the acute toxicity of the synthesized compounds was determined. This work may be a fruitful matrix of the synthesis of a new series of novel MAO-A inhibitors with good safety margins.
通过微波增强亲核取代反应,利用相应的2-氯喹喔啉类似物与取代胺或肼合成了一系列新的3-苄基-2-取代喹喔啉。通过测定IC(50)评估了合成化合物的单胺氧化酶A和B抑制活性。所有新合成的化合物对MAO-A的抑制活性比对MAO-B更具选择性。此外,还测定了合成化合物的急性毒性。这项工作可能为合成一系列具有良好安全边际的新型MAO-A抑制剂提供丰富的基础。
