Ten novel 3,5-diaryl pyrazolines were synthesized and investigated for their monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitory property. All the molecules were found to be reversible and selective inhibitor for either one of the isoform (MAO-A or MAO-B). Further insights in the theoretical evaluation of the possible interactions between the compounds and monoamine oxidases (MAO-A or MAO-B) have been developed through docking studies. The theoretical values are in congruence with their experimental values. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
