Synthesis, ADME studies, toxicity estimation, and exploration of molecular recognition of thiophene based chalcones towards monoamine oxidase-A and B

The validity of the chalcone scaffold for the design of inhibitors of monoamine oxidase had previously been reported. A series of thiophene based chalcones were synthesized by the reaction between 2-acetyl thiophene and substituted aromatic aldehyde according to the Claisen-Schmidt condensation. The structures of the synthesized compounds were ascertained by spectral analysis. Drug-likeness of the titled derivatives was done by blood–brain...
