Chromone carboxylic acids were evaluated as human monoamine oxidase A and B (hMAO-A and hMAO-B) inhibitors. The biological data indicated that only chromone-3-carboxylic acid is a potent hMAO-B inhibitor, with a high degree of selectivity for hMAO-B compared to hMAO-A. Conversely the chromone-2-carboxylic acid resulted almost inactive against both MAO isoforms. Docking experiments were performed to elucidate the reasons of the different MAO IC(50) data and to explain the absence of activity versus selectivity, respectively.

We report a novel Lewis acid catalysed tandem reaction of isocyanides, chromone 3-carboxylic acid and nucleophiles. An experimentally very simple procedure, involving the use of microwave irradiation in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst, affords a representative collection of chromone-2-carboxamides and chromone-2-carboxamido-3-esters in high yields, in just a few minutes. Such an unprecedented strategy is formally equivalent to a conjugate addition of isocyanides to Michael acceptors.
