Abstract:
:It is well established that tobacco smokers have reduced levels of monoamine oxidase activities both in the brain and peripheral organs. Furthermore, extensive evidence suggests that smokers are less prone to develop Parkinson's disease. These facts, plus the observation that inhibition of monoamine oxidase B protects against the parkinsonian inducing effects of the nigrostriatal neurotoxin 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine, have prompted studies to identify monoamine oxidase inhibitors in the tobacco plant and tobacco cigarette smoke. Our previous efforts on cured tobacco leaf extracts have led to the characterization of 2,3,6-trimethyl-1,4-naphthoquinone, a non-selective monoamine oxidase inhibitor, and farnesylacetone, a selective monoamine oxidase B inhibitor. We now have extended these studies to tobacco smoke constituents. Fractionation of the smoke extracts has confirmed and extended the qualitative results of an earlier report [J. Korean Soc. Tob. Sci.1997, 19, 136] demonstrating the inhibitory activity of the terpene trans,trans-farnesol on rat brain MAO-B. In the present study, K(i) values for the inhibition of human, baboon, monkey, dog, rat, and mouse liver MAO-B have been determined. Noteworthy is the absence of inhibitory effects on human placental MAO-A and beef liver MAO-B. A limited structure-activity relationship study of analogs of trans,trans-farnesol is reported. Although the health hazards associated with the use of tobacco products preclude any therapeutic opportunities linked to smoking, these results suggest the possibility of identifying novel structures of compounds that could lead to the development of neuroprotective agents.
