[Substances inhibiting monoamine oxidase. II. Inhibition of bovine plasma amine oxidase by N-cyclopropyltryptamines]
Abstract
In this paper, we report the inhibition constants obtained with N-cyclopropyl-5,6-dimethoxytryptamine and with N-cyclopropyl-6,7-dimethoxytryptamine on the activity of beef plasma amineoxidase. The inhibition constants are respectively: 0.3 x 10(-3) M and 0.65 x 10(-3) M. A dixon graph of the enzymic oxidation of benzylamine indicates a non-competitive inhibition of the enzyme by these dimethoxytryptamines.
