Popis: The inactivation of monoamine oxidase (MAO) by 1-phenylcyclopropylamine (1-PCPA, 1) has been proposed (Silverman, R. B.; Zieske, P. A. Biochemistry 1985, 74, 2128-2138) to proceed via a radical mechanism involving ring opening of an unstable cyclopropylaminyl radical (Scheme 1). This intermediate has been shown to partition between attachment to the N-S position of the covalently-bound flavin cofator, which results in irreversible inactivation, and attachment to an active-site cysteine residue, which results in an unstable adduct that hydrolyzes to release acrylphenoneand active enzyme over time. The stereochemistry and mechanism of the ring-opening step is investigate in this paper
