Asymmetric cyclopropanation of styrenes by tert-butyl diazoacetate followed by ester hydrolysis and Curtius rearrangement gave a series of tranylcypromine analogues as single enantiomers. The o,- m- and p-bromo analogues were all more active than tranylcypromine in a LSD1 enzyme assay. The m- and p-bromo analogues were micromolar growth inhibitors of the LNCaP prostate cancer cell line as were the corresponding biphenyl analogues prepared from the bromide by Suzuki crosscoupling.

Safinamide (SAF) is currently used to treat Parkinson's disease (PD) symptoms based on its theoretical ability to potentiate the dopamine (DA) signal, blocking monoamine oxidase (MAO) B. The present work aims to highlight the functional relevance of SAF as an enhancer of the DA signal, by evaluating its ability to prolong recovery from DA-mediated firing inhibition of DAergic neurons of the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc), compared to another MAO antagonist, tranylcypromine (TCP). Using multielectrode array (MEA) and single electrode extracellular recordings of spontaneous spikes from presumed SNpc DAergic cells in vitro, we show that SAF (30 μM) mildly prolongs the DA-mediated firing inhibition, as opposed to the profound effect of TCP (10 μM).

Histone lysine specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) is responsible for the demethylation of mono-/dimethylated lysine residue on histone proteins. LSD1 plays an extensive and essential role in the pathogenesis and progression of many human diseases such as cancers, and thus is becoming an attractive therapeutic target for cancer treatment. Tranylcypromine (TCP) is an important chemical template for developing irreversible LSD1 inhibitors, representing a major chemotype of clinical candidates.

The epigenetic regulator lysine specific demethylase 1 (LSD1), a MYCN cofactor, cooperatively silences MYCN suppressor genes. Furthermore, LSD1 has been correlated with adverse effects in neuroblastic tumors by propagating an undifferentiated, malignant phenotype. We observed that high LSD1 mRNA expression in MYCN-expressing neuroblastoma (NB) correlated with poor prognosis, implicating LSD1 as an oncogenic accomplice in high-grade NB.

There has been growing recognition that major depressive disorder is a serious medical disorder that also affects children. This has been accompanied by an increased use of antidepressant drugs in adolescents; however, not all classes of antidepressants are effective in children and adolescents. There is an increasing need to understand the differences in antidepressant action in different developmental stages.

As regioisomers/bioisosteres of , a 4-phenylbenzamide tranylcypromine (TCP) derivative previously disclosed by us, we report here the synthesis and biological evaluation of some (hetero)arylbenzoylamino TCP derivatives -, in which the 4-phenyl moiety of was shifted at the benzamide C3 position or replaced by 2- or 3-furyl, 2- or 3-thienyl, or 4-pyridyl group, all at the benzamide C4 or C3 position. In anti-LSD1-CoREST assay, all the derivatives were more effective than the analogues, with the thienyl analogs and being the most potent (IC values = 0.015 and 0.
