| Description | 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 μM) compared to MAO-B (IC 50 1.6 μM), indicative of its bidirectional inhibition. Moreover, it is applied in the treatment of mental disorders [1]. |
