FS32 (I, R = Me) [57614-23-0] and FS97 (I, R = H) [61365-76-2] effectively inhibited rat brain mitochondrial monoamine oxidase (EC 1.4.3.4) (II) [9001-66-5] type B (Ki = 0.9 × 10-5 and 0.8 × 10-5M, resp.) but inhibited type A II (Ki = 34.5 × 10-5 and 20.0 × 10-5M, resp.) to a lesser extent.II type B was also more susceptible than type A to inhibition by classical tricyclic antidepressants, e.g. imipramine [50-49-7].FS32 and FS97 were competitive, reversible inhibitors of types A and B II.
