MAO - The Mother of all Amine Oxidases
Monoamine oxidase (MAO) is linked to psychiatric and neurological disorders, because inhibitors of the enzyme are used clinically for treatment of affective disorders and Parkinson’s disease. One of the interesting new aspects of MAO is the occurrence in the human population of deletions of genes coding for one or the other enzyme subtype (A or B). This leads to the possibility of a genetic basis for psychiatric disorders based on MAO. Subjects with deletions of type A or B, and combined deletions, have been described. In the first group of 6 papers in this book, the occurrence and characterization of these phenotypes, as well as the structure of MAO genes, is explored. Advances in the biochemistry of MAO subtypes and their physiological function and localization in brain and periphery is included. Other sections of the book deal with the neuroprotective action of MAO inhibitors and their pharmacology, especially the pharmacology of new MAO-B inhibitors.
Copper Amine Oxidases
Although the amount of research on copper amine oxidases has grown rapidly and substantially in the past decade, the field unfortunately suffers from lack of cohesion and significant confusion surrounds aspects as simple as confirmation of enzyme identities. This book describes the structure of the enzymes, the role of copper, and of the unusual cofactor 6-hydroxydopa quinine derived from a posttranslational modification of a tyrosine residue. It also covers the differences of between AOs from bacteria, plants, and mammals. Finally, the text examines the importance of this ubiquitous class of enzymes in physiology and in metabolism of biogenic amines.
Amine Oxidases: Function and Dysfunction
Monoamine oxidase plays a major role in the pathogenesis of neuropsychiatric disorders including depressive illness, Parkinson ́s disease and Alzheimer ́s disease. The new generation of selective monoamine oxidase inhibitors, devoid of major side effects, has found a prominent place in the treatment of these diseases. Some of these drugs may have neuroprotective activity with prospects for treating progressive neurodegenerative diseases. The volume presents a collection of research papers on monoamine oxidase and its inhibitors. The topic is treated from the point of view of chemistry, biochemistry, pharmacology, physiology, neurology and psychiatry. The book serves as a quick and comprehensive reference source for obtaining the most up to date information.
Chiral Amine Synthesis
This first comprehensive presentation of this hot and important topic compiles the most up-to-date methods for chiral amine synthesis. The international list of authors reads like a "Who's Who" of the subject, providing a large array of highly practical information concentrated into the useful and essential methods. Following an introductory chapter devoted to helping readers quickly determine which strategies to choose for their investigation, this handbook and ready reference focuses on the examination of methods that are reliable and simultaneously efficient for the synthesis of structurally diverse aliphatic and aromatic chiral amines. Modern methods and applications found in (pharmaceutical) industry are also covered.
Amine Oxidases in Clinical Research
Amine Oxidases in Clinical Research discusses the functions of amine oxidases in the rapid development of medical and biological research. Composed of 13 chapters, the book focuses on amine oxidases, including their key role in the metabolism of biogenic amines and other nitrogenous compounds in diseases and human health. The book considers primarily the enzymes denoted as EC 1.4.3.4 (flavin amine oxidases or monoamine oxidases) and EC 1.4.3.6 (copper-containing amine oxidase or diamine oxidases). To measure the estimates of amine oxidase activity, several methods and a number of requirements are presented. A description of the distribution and intracellular localization of amine oxidase fol...
Amine Oxidases and Their Impact on Neurobiology
The Amine Oxidase Workshop was the brain child of Brian Callingham and Keith Tipton. The present book is the proceedings of the fourth in the series and in the past we have dedicated our meeting to individuals who have made significant fundamental contributions to the biochemistry, physiology and pharmacology of this interesting group of enzymes. The present meeting is not an exception because we have gathered here in Wtirzburg to honour an individual whose outstanding work on the autonomic pharmacology has span ned more than 30 years and whose contribution has made a vast impact in our understanding of the kinetic relationship between amine metabolism (that uptake and enzymatic inactivation...
Structure and Functions of Amine Oxidases
A good portion of this book has been devoted to the copper-dependent enzymes, these being the more numerous. The chapter dealing with serum amine oxidases also focuses attention on their catalytic mechanism, as these enzymes have been studied in greater depth.As the presentation of topics whose experimental basis is rapidly developing is likely to stimulate the reader‘s interest, many bibliographic references have been included.Readers could find this book poor, as far as many topics are dealt with in a relatively little space, but we believe it essential to trace the background of our present knowledge in the field of amine oxidases, stressing the future outlook of research on these enzymes, for they are becoming more and more important in general and medical biochemistry.
