The discovery that iproniazid benefits certain subjects with depression, linked with the demonstration that it inhibits the enzyme monoamine oxidase (MAO), led to the hypothesis that inhibition of MAO was the essential mechanism by which iproniazid caused relief of symptoms (Pletscher, 1959). Iproniazid, unfortunately, can produce serious toxic effects, particularly on the liver (Pare and Sandler, 1959), and this has limited its clinical application. For this reason a search has been made for MAO inhibitors with an effective anti-depressant action yet without the serious toxic effects of iproniazid. Among the newer compounds for which such claims have been made is N-isonicotinoyl (-N-N-benzylcarboxamidoethyl) hydrazine or Nialamide.

Abstract Monoamine oxidases (MAOs) use molecular dioxygen as oxidant to catalyze the oxidation of amines to imines. This type of enzyme can be employed for the synthesis of primary, secondary, and tertiary amines by an appropriate deracemization protocol. Consequently, MAOs are an attractive class of enzymes in biocatalysis. However, they also have limitations in enzyme-catalyzed processes due to the often-observed narrow substrate scope, low activity, or poor/wrong stereoselectivity. Therefore, directed evolution was introduced to eliminate these obstacles, which is the subject of this review. The main focus is on recent efforts concerning the directed evolution of four MAOs: monoamine oxidase (MAO-N), cyclohexylamine oxidase (CHAO), D-amino acid oxidase (pkDAO), and 6-hydroxy-D-nicotine oxidase (6-HDNO).

Abstract The enzymatic deamination of 5-fl uorotryptamine and 5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT, catalysed by enzyme monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A, EC 1.4.3.4) was investigated using the kinetic (KIE) and solvent (SIE) isotope effects methods. The numerical values of deuterium isotope effects in the (1R) positions of 5-F-tryptamine were determined using non-competitive spectrophotomeric method. Isotopologue 5-F-[(1R)- -2H]-tryptamine, needed for kinetic studies was obtained by enzymatic decarboxylation of 5´-fl uoro-L-tryptophan, 5´-F-L-Trp, in fully deuteriated medium.
