Abstract

Aminoethyl 3-chlorobenzyl ether (3), synthesized by the reaction of 3-chlorobenzyl bromide with aminoethanol and NaH, was shown to be a time-dependent reversible inactivator of both monoamine oxidase A and B. The selectivity for inactivation of monoamine oxidase B, as measured by (kinact/KI)B/(kinact/KI )A, is 1700.
