- Abstract
Several studies have revealed piperine and a few related compounds as potent inhibitors of monoamine oxidases without delineating the underlying mechanism. Using in silico modelling, we propose a structural basis of such activity by showing that these compounds can successfully dock into the inhibitor binding pockets of human monoamine oxidase isoforms with predicted affinities comparable to some known inhibitors. The results therefore suggest that piperine can be a promising lead for developing novel monoamine oxidase inhibitors.
