Role of Xanthones as MAO Inhibitors and CNS Depressants
Read this article to learn about the role of xanthones as MAO inhibitors and CNS depressants. 1, 6-Dihydroxyxanthone and 1, 3, 6-trihydroxyxanthone exhibited much potent inhibitory activity toward rat brain mitochondrial MAO (type A). On the other hand, 1, 3, 7-trihydroxyxanthone showed great potency for inhibition of mouse liver mitochondrial MAO (type B). These results indicate that 1, 3, 6-trihydroxyxanthone [...]
