↵a DACA = N-[(2-dimethylamino)ethyl]acridine-4-carboxamide.
↵b Demonstrates substrate-dependent IC50.
↵c Suitable in liver cytosol, but less suitable for inhibition studies in liver S9 fractions or hepatocytes because of their potential to inhibit P450 enzymes and/or instability.
↵d Pargylline can also be used as non-specific inhibitor of MAO (Recommended concentration for phenotyping studies 0.5–2 µM; IC50 for MAO-A is 0.01152 µM and for MAO-B is 0.00820 µM) (Fisar et al., 2010; Murphy et al., 1998).
