1-Methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) is oxidized to a neurotoxic metabolite by monoamine oxidase B (MAO B). Using two colorimetric assays, we have examined a range of its structural analogues as possible further substrates of this enzyme in order to identify the types of environmental or endogenous compounds that might also be neurototoxic. Compounds with fully saturated or unsaturated of pyridine ring were not substrates; nor were a range of tetrahdyro-.beta.-carbolines or isoquinolines. Four substrates for MAO were found, 1-methyl-4-(2''-methylphenyl)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (2''-Me-MPTP), 4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (PTP), 4-(p-chlorophenyl)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (Cl-PTP) and ethyl-1-methyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydro-4-pyridine-carboxylate (ethyl-MTP-carboxylate). Ethyl-MTP-carboxylate is of particular interest as it shows that a tetrahydropyridine without a phenyl ring can also be a substrate. Cl-PTP, PTP and ethyl-MTP-carboxylate appeared to be partially metabolised by MAO A. The inhibitory sensitivity of 2''-Me-MPTP oxidation was more complex.
