Monoamine oxidases (MAOs) are essential FAD-dependent enzymes which can efficiently catalyze the oxidative deamination of neurotransmitters and biogenic amines.[1-2] There are two isoforms, MAO A and MAO B, that are abundant in the liver, gastrointestinal tract, blood platelets and central nervous systems.[3] These enzymes play an important role in metabolism and neural development by regulating the homeostasis of amine neurotransmitters and peripheral dietary amines. Any excess or deficiency of these enzymes will lead to various neurological and psychiatric disorders [4] such as depression, Parkinson’s and Alzheimers’s diseases or even the growth inhibition and progression of tumor.[5-7] Thus, the development of suitable MAO substrates which can be used for selective and sensitive monitoring of enzyme activity in a complex biological system is of great significance.Recently, fluorescence techniques have attracted considerable attention as simple, effective and powerful tools [8, 9] for real-time monitoring of protein and enzyme activities in vitro and in vivo.[10, 11] Fluorescent detection is more advantageous compared to colorimetric or radioisotope assay due to its high sensitivity, relative safety, low cost and easy handling.[12, 13] To date, several standard chromogenic, radiochemical and fluorogenic substrates have been successfully employed to identify MAO activity in vitro.[14-20] However, the simple and effective fluorescent probes which can provide a direct and sensitive readout of the MAO activity in living cells is still highly required since most of the existing methods are less sensitive,[17-19] require a secondary activating enzyme to release the signal for detection [15] or do not provide live cell fluorescence imaging for the enzyme
