  • Title: Serotonin and benzylamine oxidation by type A and type B MAO of rat brain in presence of organophosphate pesticides.
    Author: Nag M, Nandy N.
    Journal: Indian J Exp Biol; 2001 Aug; 39(8):802-6. PubMed ID: 12018584.
    Abstract:
    Organophosphate (OP) pesticides, monocrotophos (MCP), dichlorvos (DDVP) and phosphamidon significantly inhibit both MAO-A and MAO-B activities in rat brain mitochondria. The inhibition of MAO-A by MCP is reversible whereas the inhibition by DDVP and phosphamidon is irreversible. MAO-B is inhibited irreversibly by all these organophosphates suggesting that the mechanism of action of OP pesticides is through phosphorylation of serine residue present in active centre of MAO.
