  • Since time-dependent inactivation of MAO was found to be complete in a few minutes when high concentration ratios of tranylcypromine to MAO were used, a method to obtain kinetic parameters was sought suitable to the conditions in which concentrations of tranylcypromine analogs did not exceed that of MAO. For the purpose, kinetic equations were derived and the method applied to the kinetic studies of tranylcypromine enantiomers. It was found that (E)-(+)-2-phenylcyclopropylamine inhibited MAO by the mechanism following bimolecular reaction scheme with $\tilde{K}_i$ of $2.0\;{\times}\;10^6M^{-1}min^{-1}$. Whereas, MAO-inhibitory pattern of the (-)-enantiomer was to be interpreted by suicide inhibition scheme and measured $k_{in}\;and\;\tilde{K}'$ were $0.457\;min^{-1}\;and\;$5.4{\mu}M$, respectively.

  • In order to use for metabolic studies of tranylcypromine (TCP), TCP-phenyl-$d_{5}$ was synthesized via the intermediates, 3-benzoylpropionic acid-$d_{5}$ and trans-2-phenylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid-$d_{5}$ -TCP(0.22 mmole/kg) and its deuterated analog were administered s. c. to the rats and GC/MS analyses of the urines led to the detection of N-acetyltranylcypromine (ATCP) and glucuronide conjugate of phenyl-hydroxylated ATCP. MAO activities in rat brain were measured using serotonin as the substrate. In vitro $IC_{50}$ of ATCP was determined to be $10^{-3}M$. The inhibitions by ATCP were not dependent on the preincubation time and were reversed by washing sedimented mitochondrial pellets after the preincubation. In vivo MAO inhibitions at various times of 0.5, 1.5, 3, 6, 12, and 23 hr after the administration of 0.4 mmole/kg (i. p. ) of ATCP were found to be 0.13, 73, 90, 89, and 74 %, respectively. Similarly, the inhibition percents by 0.015 mmole/kg (i. p. ) of TCP were 94, 99, 95, 91, 71 and 49%. The results strongly suggest that deacetylated product of ATCP may account for its in vivo MAO inhibition. The relationship between the metabolism via phenyl-hydroxylation and the in vivo potency of TCP was examined by QSAR study and it was found that groupings discriminating between the compounds with p-substituents and those without them only ensure high correlations, suggesting that ring-hydroxylation which occurs at the para position in most of the compounds is a determining factor to the potency of TCP.

  • This study was designed to investigate the nervous sedative effects of green tea. The sedative effect was evaluated by examination of Monoamine oxidases (MAOs) inhibitory activity in vitro in the brain and liver of rat fed on green tea cultivated and harvested from the different regions and periods. It showed that methanol extracts of green tea inhibited significantly the brain MAO-A activity. Especially late harvested green tea extracts showed potential inhibitory activity. The liver MAO-B activity was also inhibited by all of the green tea extracts with strong intensity. This study confirmed that major compounds of green tea such as catechin, epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) and L-theanine, which were well known for the main bioactive components in the tea plants, were not associated with the MAO inhibitory activities of green tea. These results suggested that a MAO inhibition activity comes from other minor tea components we have to search in the future.

  • Fourteen kinds of medicinal plants were screened for determining inhibitory activities on monoamine oxidase B. The extracts of Artemisia Messer-Schmidtiana (herba), Chrysanthemum indicum(flos), Ericibe obtusifolia (radix et rhizoma) and Sophora japonica (flos) strongly inhibited the enzyme. Among them, Chrysanthemi flos was chosen for elucidating its active principles, and some flavonoids were isolated and identified as acasetin (I), 5, 7-dihydroxy chromone (II), diosmetin (III), apigenin (IV), eriodictyol (V) and luteolin (VI).$IC_{50} were determined as following: 1, 2.46;II, 0.19; III, 2. 11mM, and the others showed weak inhibition.

  • The antiparkinsonian agent l-deprenyl, a selective monoamine oxidase (MAO)-B inhibitor, is metabolized in part to l-methamphetamine and l-amphetamine. l< /I>-Deprenyl was evaluated for amphetamine and methamphetamine-like discriminative stimulus effects in rats and its mechanism of action was investigated. Rats were trained under a 5-response, fixed ratio schedule of stimulus-shock termination or a 10-response. Fixed-ratio schedule of food-presentation which discriminate between d-amphetamine (1mg/kg, i.p.) and saline or d-methamphetamine (1mg/kg, i.p.) and saline in a two-lever, operant conditioning procedure. Full generalization was obtained to d-amphetamine (1~3mg/kg). d-methamphetamine (1~3mg/kg) and l-deprenyl (17~30mg/kg) under both the food presentation and stimulus shock termination schedule. l-Deprenyl has dose-dependent amphetamine-and methamphetamine-like discriminative stimulus properties in rats only at doses of 17 and 30mg/kg. Reversible MAO-B inhibitor, RO 16-6491 didn`t show any amphetamine-like discriminative properties. Aromatic amino acid decarboxylase inhibitor, NSD 1015 decreased % responding of l-deprenyl in the methamphetamine-trained rats under the stimulus-shock termination schedule. SKF-525A produced partial inhibition of methamphetamine-like discriminative effects of l-deprenyl under the food presentation schedule. These results suggest that l-deprenyl has no abuse liability at the therapeutic range but there needs some caution at high doses and furthermore, drug discrimination studies under the food presentation and shock termination schedule are useful for the assessment of abuse liability of psychostimulants.

  • Preserved egg, a kind of alkaline-fermented food, is a traditional egg product in China. Here, we investigated the nutritional functions of preserved eggs by in vivo and in vitro experiments. The results of in vivo studies showed that the levels of triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TCHO) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol/high density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C/HDL-C) were significantly decreased (p<0.05) in the liver of rats treated with preserved eggs. Meanwhile, the levels of two important cancer markers, interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis $factor-{\alpha}$ ($TNF-{\alpha}$), were also significantly decreased (p<0.05) in treated rats. In vitro studies were performed on Caco-2 cells, a human epithelial colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line. It demonstrated that the gastrointestinal (GI) digests of preserved eggs significantly accelerated (p<0.05) the apoptosis by upregulating caspase-3 in the Caco-2 cells. Besides, after treated with preserved eggs, the half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of preserved eggs digests to Caco-2 cells was 5.75 mg/mL, indicating the significant inhibition of cell proliferation provided by preserved eggs (p<0.05). The results shown in this study demonstrated that preserved eggs may be a novel functional food involved with antilipemic, anti-inflammatory activity as well as the effect on accelarating the apoptosis of Caco-2 cells.

  • 수면은 외부의 자극에 대해 반응하지 않는 상태로 만성통증을 지닌 환자는 수면 장애를 겪고 있으며 수면장애는 통각과 민한 상태를 유발하고 통증인지에 영향을 미친다. 구강작열감 증후군은 구강점막에 화끈거리는 감각을 포함하는 만성 안면통증으로 감각과 통증 역치가 변성되고 신경병증 징후를 보인다. 구강작열감 증후군은 첫 번째로 국소적, 전신적 요인 즉, 흡연, 투약 등 작열감 증상의 원인으로 가능한 요인을 제거하고, 두 번째로는 환자를 안심시키는데 있다. 수면박탈 내인성, 외인성 아편유사제의 진통효과는 수면 계속성 즉, 선택적인 렘수면 박탈은 아편유사제 진통효과를 방해 하고 opioid protein synthesis 억제를 야기하고 ${\mu}$${\delta}$ opioid 수용체 친화력을 감소시킨다. enkephalinase-inhibitor와 MAO-B inhibitor 적용으로 나타나는 아편유사제의 진통상승효과는 렘수면 박탈시에 무효화 된다. 렘수면 박탈후에는 5-HT 와 5-hydroxy indole acetic acid 레벨이 유의하게 감소되고, 아편유사체에 활성에 의해 유발되는 통증억제를 지지하는 세로토닌 체계를 가능하지 않게 한다. 구강작열감 증후군은 설말단 신경섬유에서 추삭변성 변화가 있고 특히, 열자극, 냉자극 및 미각 유해수용성 자극의 인지를 포함한 감각변화가 폐경기후 생식스테로이드의 급격한 감소가 신경활성 스테로이드 생성에 변성을 일으켜며, 이것은 말초성 변성와 중추성 변성이 존재함을 제시한다. 구강작열감 증후군은 기본적으로 가능한 요인을 제거하는 것이 중요하므로 구강작열감의 진행을 방지하고, 만정적인 작열감의 경감을 위하여 증상 경과에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 수면에 대하여 고찰하고자 한다.
