With the aim of finding the structural features for the human MAO inhibitory activity and selectivity, in the present communication we report the synthesis, pharmacological evaluation and a comparative study of a new series of 3-phenylcoumarins (compounds 1-4) and 3-benzoylcoumarins (compounds 5-8). A bromo atom and a methoxy/hydroxy substituent were introduced in these scaffolds, at six and eight positions of the coumarin moiety, respectively. The synthesized compounds 1-8 were evaluated as MAO-A and B inhibitors using R-(-)-deprenyl and iproniazide as reference compounds. The presence or absence of a carbonyl group between the coumarin and the phenyl substituent in 3 position remarks, respectively, the MAO-A or MAO-B inhibitory activity. Some of the new compounds showed MAO-B inhibitory activities in the low nanomolar range. Compound 2 (IC(50)=1.35nM) showed higher inhibitory activity than the R-(-)-deprenyl (IC(50)=19.60nM) and higher MAO-B selectivity, with more than 74,074-fold inhibition level, respecting to the MAO-A isoform.
