A number of condensed azines, mostly belonging to the families of indeno-fused pyridazines (1), pyrimidines (2, 3), and 1,2,4-triazines (4, 5), were synthesized and evaluated in vitro as monoamine oxidase (MAO) A and B inhibitors. Most of them showed higher inhibition potency toward MAO-B, the most effective one being 3-(3-nitrophenyl)-9H-indeno[1,2-e] [1,2,4]triazin-9-one (4c), which displayed an IC50 value of 80 nM and proved to be 10-fold more potent than its [2,1-e] fusion isomer 5. Replacing the 3-phenyl group of the known indeno[1,2-c]pyridazin-5-one MAO-B inhibitors with a flexible phenoxymethyl group enhanced the inhibitory potency. The inhibition data highlighted the importance of the aza-heterocyclic scaffold in affecting the MAO isoform selectivity. The 3-phenyl derivatives with type 1, 4, and 5 scaffolds were inhibitors of MAO-B with little or no MAO-A effect, whereas 2- or 3-phenyl derivatives of type 2 and 3 pyrimidine-containing fusion isomers inhibited both isoenzymes with a structure-dependent preference toward MAO-A.
