Structures and Mechanism of the Monoamine Oxidase Family.

ABSTRACT: Members of the monoamine oxidase family of flavoproteins catalyze the oxidation of primary and secondary amines, polyamines, amino acids, and methylated lysine side chains in proteins. The enzymes have similar overall structures, with conserved FAD-binding domains and varied substrate-binding sites. Multiple mechanisms have been proposed for the catalytic reactions of these enzymes. The present review compares the structures of different members of the family and the various mechanistic proposals.

Dual Reversible Coumarin Inhibitors Mutually Bound to Monoamine Oxidase B and Acetylcholinesterase Crystal Structures.

Project description:Multitarget directed ligands (MTDLs) represent a promising frontier in tackling the complexity of multifactorial pathologies. The synergistic inhibition of monoamine oxidase B (MAO B) and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is believed to provide a potentiated effect in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Among previously reported micromolar or sub-micromolar coumarin-bearing dual inhibitors, compound 1 returned a tight-binding inhibition of MAO B (K i = 4.5 μM) and a +5.5 °C increase in the enzyme T m value. Indeed, the X-ray crystal structure revealed that binding of 1 produces unforeseen conformational changes at the MAO B entrance cavity. Interestingly, 1 showed great shape complementarity with the AChE enzymatic gorge, being deeply buried from the catalytic anionic subsite (CAS) to the peripheral anionic subsite (PAS) and causing significant structural changes in the active site. These findings provide structural templates for further development of dual MAO B and AChE inhibitors.

SAR and molecular mechanism studies of monoamine oxidase inhibition by selected chalcone analogs.

Project description:The present study describes the synthesis of a series of 22 chalcone analogs. These compounds were evaluated as potential human MAO-A and MAO-B inhibitors. The compounds showed varied selectivity against the two isoforms. The IC50 values were found to be in the micromolar to submicromolar range. The Ki values of compound 16 were determined to be 0.047 and 0.020 μM for the inhibition of MAO-A and MAO-B, respectively. Dialysis of enzyme-inhibitor mixtures indicated a reversible competitive mode of inhibition. Most of the synthesized chalcone analogs showed a better selectivity toward MAO-B. However, introducing of 2,4,6-trimethoxy substituents on ring B shifted the selectivity toward MAO-A. In addition, we investigated the molecular mechanism of MAO-B inhibition by selected chalcone analogs. Our results revealed that these selected chalcone analogs increased dopamine levels in the rat hepatoma (H4IIE) cells and decreased the relative mRNA expression of the MAO-B enzyme.

Monoamine Oxidase-A Occupancy by Moclobemide and Phenelzine: Implications for the Development of Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors.

Project description:Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) are being developed for major depressive disorder, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's Disease. Newer MAOIs have minimal sensitivity to tyramine, but a key limitation for optimizing their development is that standards for in vivo monoamine oxidase-A (MAO-A) occupancy in humans are not well established. The objectives were to determine the dose-occupancy relationship of moclobemide and the occupancy of phenelzine at typical clinical dosing. Major depressive episode (MDE) subjects underwent [(11)C]harmine positron emission tomography scanning prior to and following 6 weeks of treatment with moclobemide or phenelzine. Mean brain MAO-A occupancies were 74.23±8.32% for moclobemide at 300-600 mg daily (n = 11), 83.75±5.52% for moclobemide at 900-1200 mg daily (n = 9), and 86.82±6.89% for phenelzine at 45-60 mg daily (n = 4). The regional dose-occupancy relationship of moclobemide fit a hyperbolic function [F(x) = a(x/[b + x]); F(1,18) = 5.57 to 13.32, p = 0.002 to 0.03, mean 'a': 88.62±2.38%, mean 'b': 69.88±4.36 mg]. Multivariate analyses of variance showed significantly greater occupancy of phenelzine (45-60mg) and higher-dose moclobemide (900-1200 mg) compared to lower-dose moclobemide [300-600 mg; F(7,16) = 3.94, p = 0.01]. These findings suggest that for first-line MDE treatment, daily moclobemide doses of 300-600mg correspond to a MAO-A occupancy of 74%, whereas for treatment-resistant MDE, either phenelzine or higher doses of moclobemide correspond to a MAO-A occupancy of at least 84%. Therefore, novel MAO inhibitor development should aim for similar thresholds. The findings provide a rationale in treatment algorithm design to raise moclobemide doses to inhibit more MAO-A sites, but suggest switching from high-dose moclobemide to phenelzine is best justified by binding to additional targets.

Crystallographic snapshots of the complete reaction cycle of nicotine degradation by an amine oxidase of the monoamine oxidase (MAO) family.

Project description:FAD-linked oxidases constitute a class of enzymes which catalyze dehydrogenation as a fundamental biochemical reaction, followed by reoxidation of reduced flavin. Here, we present high-resolution crystal structures showing the flavoenzyme 6-hydroxy-l-nicotine oxidase in action. This enzyme was trapped during catalytic degradation of the native substrate in a sequence of discrete reaction states corresponding to the substrate-reduced enzyme, a complex of the enzyme with the intermediate enamine product and formation of the final aminoketone product. The inactive d-stereoisomer binds in mirror symmetry with respect to the catalytic axis, revealing absolute stereospecificity of hydrogen transfer to the flavin. The structural data suggest deprotonation of the substrate when bound at the active site, an overall binary complex mechanism and oxidation by direct hydride transfer. The amine nitrogen has a critical role in the dehydrogenation step and may activate carbocation formation at the ?-carbon via delocalization from the lone pair to ?* C(?)-H. Enzymatically assisted hydrolysis of the intermediate product occurs at a remote (P site) cavity. Substrate entry and product exit follow different paths. Structural and kinetic data suggest that substrate can also bind to the reduced enzyme, associated with slower reoxidation as compared to the rate of reoxidation of free enzyme. The results are of general relevance for the mechanisms of flavin amine oxidases.

A lysine conserved in the monoamine oxidase family is involved in oxidation of the reduced flavin in mouse polyamine oxidase.

Project description:Lysine 315 of mouse polyamine amine oxidase corresponds to a lysine residue that is conserved in the flavoprotein amine oxidases of the monoamine oxidase structural family. In several structures, this lysine residue forms a hydrogen bond to a water molecule that is hydrogen-bonded to the flavin N(5). Mutation of Lys315 in polyamine oxidase to methionine was previously shown to have no effect on the kinetics of the reductive half-reaction of the enzyme (M. Henderson Pozzi, V. Gawandi, P.F. Fitzpatrick, Biochemistry 48 (2009) 1508-1516). In contrast, the mutation does affect steps in the oxidative half-reaction. The k(cat) value is unaffected by the mutation; this kinetic parameter likely reflects product release. At pH 10, the k(cat)/K(m) value for oxygen is 25-fold lower in the mutant enzyme. The k(cat)/K(O2) value is pH-dependent for the wild-type enzyme, decreasing below a pK(a) of 7.0, while this kinetic parameter for the mutant enzyme is pH-independent. This is consistent with the neutral form of Lys315 being required for more rapid flavin oxidation. The solvent isotope effect on the k(cat)/K(O2) value increases from 1.4 in the wild-type enzyme to 1.9 in the mutant protein, and the solvent inventory changes from linear to bowed. The effects of the mutation can be explained by the lysine orienting the bridging water so that it can accept the proton from the flavin N(5) during flavin oxidation. In the mutant enzyme the lysine amine would be replaced by a water chain.

Evidence for a Cyanine Link Between Propargylamine Drugs and Monoamine Oxidase Clarifies the Inactivation Mechanism.

Project description:Successful propargylamine drugs such as deprenyl inactivate monoamine oxidase (MAO), a target in multi-faceted approaches to prevent neurodegeneration in the aging population, but the chemical structure and mechanism of the irreversible inhibition are still debated. We characterized the covalent cyanine structure linking the multi-target propargylamine inhibitor ASS234 and the flavin adenine dinucleotide in MAO-A using a combination of ultra-high performance liquid chromatography, spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and computational methods. The partial double bond character of the cyanine chain gives rise to 4 interconverting geometric isomers of the adduct which were chromatographically separated at low temperatures. The configuration of the cyanine linker governs adduct stability with segments of much higher flexibility and rigidity than previously hypothesized. The findings indicate the importance of intramolecular electrostatic interactions in the MAO binding site and provide key information relevant to incorporation of the propargyl moiety into novel multi-target drugs. Based on the structure, we propose a mechanism of MAO inactivation applicable to all propargylamine inhibitors.

Binding mechanism of naringenin with monoamine oxidase - B enzyme: QM/MM and molecular dynamics perspective.

Project description:The reduced level of dopamine at midbrain (substantia nigra) leads to Parkinson disease by the influence of monoamine oxidation process of monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) enzyme. This disease mostly affects the aged people. Reports outline that the naringenin molecule acts as an inhibitor of MAO-B enzyme and it potentially prevents the development of PD. To elucidate the binding mechanism of naringenin with MAO-B, we performed the molecular docking, QM/MM and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The molecular docking results confirm that the naringenin strongly binds with the substrate binding site of MAO-B enzyme (-12.0 kcal/mol). The low values of RMSD, RMSF and Rg indicate that the naringenin - MAO-B complex is stable over the entire period of MD simulation. Naringenin forms strong interaction with the orient keeper residue Tyr326 and other binding site residues Leu171, Glu206 and these interactions were maintained throughout the MD simulation. It is also important to block the function of MAO-B enzyme. The QM/MM study coupled with the charge density analysis reveals the charge density distribution and the strength of intermolecular interactions of naringenin-MAO-B complex. The above results suggest that this molecule is a potential inhibitor of MAO-B enzyme.

Amphetamine Derivatives as Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors.

Project description:Amphetamine and its derivatives exhibit a wide range of pharmacological activities, including psychostimulant, hallucinogenic, entactogenic, anorectic, or antidepressant effects. The mechanisms of action underlying these effects are usually related to the ability of the different amphetamines to interact with diverse monoamine transporters or receptors. Moreover, many of these compounds are also potent and selective monoamine oxidase inhibitors. In the present work, we review how structural modifications on the aromatic ring, the amino group and/or the aliphatic side chain of the parent scaffold, modulate the enzyme inhibitory properties of hundreds of amphetamine derivatives. Furthermore, we discuss how monoamine oxidase inhibition might influence the pharmacology of these compounds.

Mechanism-based inhibition of monoamine oxidase by 3-aryl-Delta3-pyrrolines.

Project description:The compound 1-methyl-3-phenyl-Delta3-pyrroline and its 4-chlorophenyl analogue appear to act as irreversible inhibitors of monoamine oxidase B (MAO B) in mitochondria of rat liver. The compounds are metabolized by MAO B and concomitantly inhibit the enzyme in what seems to be a two-step process. The metabolic end product of this process is the corresponding pyrrole. This inhibition process is considered in the light of possible intermediates formed during the enzymic oxidation, and comparisons are made with the structurally analogous neurotoxin 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine.
