Abstract

Monoamine oxidase (MAO) is an enzyme that catalyzes the deamination of monoamines and other proteins. MAO’s hyperactivation results in the massive generation of reactive oxygen species, which leads to a variety of neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Huntington's disease, and depression-like disorders. Although synthetic MAO inhibitors are clinically available, they are associated with side effects such as hepatotoxicity, cheese reaction, hypertensive crisis, and so on, necessitating the investigation of alternative MAO inhibitors from a natural source with a safe profile. Herbal medications have a significant impact on the prevention of many diseases; additionally, they have fewer side effects and serve as a precursor for drug development. This review discusses the potential of herbal MAO inhibitors as well as their associated mechanism of action, with an aim to foster future research on herbal MAO inhibitors as a potential treatment for neurological diseases.
Keywords: Flavoenzyme, monoamine oxidase inhibitors, apoptosis, neurological diseases, alzheimer’s disease, parkinson’sdisease, oxidative stress.
