Decoupling Neuroprotection from MAO Inhibition via Indane-to-Azaindane Bioisosteric Replacement of Rasagiline

Abstract Rasagiline is a monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) inhibitor with neuroprotective effects, whose dependence on MAO-B inhibition remains unclear. Here, indane-to-azaindane rasagiline isosteres (rac-2a and rac-2b) were developed to investigate whether neuroprotection can be decou...
