Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitory Coumarin from Zanthoxylum schinifolium

Abstract A methanol extract of ZANTHOXYLUM SCHINIFOLIUM stems at a concentration of 250 μg/ml showed potent inhibitory activity against monoamine oxidase (MAO) in a mouse brain. Activity-guided separation and purification of the extract yielded lacinartin (1) as an active coumarin compound. Lacinart...

Zusammenfassung:Abstract A methanol extract of ZANTHOXYLUM SCHINIFOLIUM stems at a concentration of 250 μg/ml showed potent inhibitory activity against monoamine oxidase (MAO) in a mouse brain. Activity-guided separation and purification of the extract yielded lacinartin (1) as an active coumarin compound. Lacinartin showed significant inhibitory effects on MAO in a dose-dependent manner. The IC 50 value on MAO activity was 9.2μM. The MAO-A (IC 50 value, 5.7 μM) sensitivity to lacinartin was greater than that of MAO-B (IC 50 value, 28.6μM). An enzyme kinetic study revealed that lacinartin inhibited MAO activity by a non-competitive mode.
