, known as Tibetan strawberry, is an edible plant possessing various health-promoting effects. However, its functional compositions were rarely studied. In this work, monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) inhibitors in this plant were rapidly screened using the enzyme-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles coupled with UPLC-QTOF-MS. Two inhibitors, quercetin-3---d-glucuronide-6″-methyl ester () and kaempferol-3---d-glucuronide-6″-methyl ester (), were identified from this plant with the IC values of 19.44 ± 1.17 and 22.63 ± 1.78 μM, respectively. Enzyme kinetic analysis and molecular docking were carried out to investigate the mechanism of inhibition. Contents of both compounds as well as those of total phenolics and flavonoids were quantified to be 24.76 ± 1.26, 35.59 ± 1.17, 837.67 ± 10.62, and 593.46 ± 10.37 μg/g, respectively. In addition, both compounds exhibited significant neuroprotective effects on 6-hydroxydopamine-induced PC12 cells. This is the first report on the neuroprotective components of , suggesting its potential for developing neuroprotective functional food.

Sixteen thio/semicarbazide-based benzyloxy derivatives (BT1-BT16) were synthesized and evaluated for their inhibitory activities against monoamine oxidases (MAOs). Most compounds showed better inhibitory activity against MAO-B than against MAO-A. BT1, BT3, and BT5 showed the greatest inhibitory activity with an identical IC value of 0.

Introduction: Monoamine oxidase-B (MAO-B) inhibitors, as an add-on therapy to levodopa, are widely used in Parkinson's disease (PD). The effects of MAO-B inhibitors on quality of life remain unclear, and the aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to assess the efficacy and safety of MAO-B inhibitors on quality of life in different domains.
Methods: We searched PubMed, Embass, and Cochrane Library databases for randomized controlled trials of PD patients who were administered MAO-B inhibitors.

Schizophrenia is a mental disorder characterized by positive, negative, and cognitive symptoms which is treated with antipsychotics. However, these drugs present several side effects and, some schizophrenia symptoms, like cognitive, are difficult to treat. The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors-gamma (PPAR-γ) are expressed in dopaminergic neurons of the midbrain participating in the modulation of neurotransmitters release like dopamine.

Introduction: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is linked to high rates of mortality and morbidity worldwide thereby posing a major public health problem. Evidences suggest that ferroptosis is the primary cause of AKI, while inhibition of monoamine oxidase A(MAOA) and 5-hydroxytryptamine were recognized as the defender of ferroptosis. Curcumin (Cur) is a natural polyphenol and the main bioactive compound of , which has been found nephroprotection in AKI.
