Application

M30 dihydrochloride may be used in monamine oxidase-mediated cell signaling studies.

Biochem/physiol Actions

M30 is a site-activated iron chelator and monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitor; with neuroprotective and anti-apoptotic activity. It is a multifunctional non-toxic, brain permeable iron chelator possessing a neuroprotective propargylamine moiety and an antioxidant-iron chelator moiety. M30 is a selective irreversible inhibitor of mitochondrial brain monoamine oxidases A and B (MAO-A and -B), providing for improved levels of neurotransmitters. It reduces oxidative damage and shows neuroprotective and neurorestorative effects in various neurodegenerative models of ALS, Alzheimer′s and Parkinson′s diseases, and is being investigated in other diseases where oxidative stress is a problem.
