• Target:

  Monoamine Oxidase

• Related Pathways:

  Neuroscience

• Bioactivity:

  Methylpiperic acid, a piperine alkaloid, exhibits potent inhibitory activity on monoamine oxidase (MAO), with differing efficacy on isoforms: greater inhibition of MAO-A (IC 50 27.1 ?M) compared to MAO-B (IC 50 1.6 ?M), indicative of its bidirectional inhibition. Moreover, it is applied in the treatment of mental disorders [1].
