Application

Cyclopropylamine(CPA) has been used in the synthesis of N-[4-(4-fluoro)phenyl-2-aminothiazol-5-yl]pyrimidin-2-yl-alkylamine derivatives. It has been used in the synthesis of Pt(CPA)2(bismethylthiomethylenepropanedioate) and Pt(CPA)2(bisethylthiomethylenepropanedioate) complexes.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cyclopropylamine inactivates cytochrome P450 enzymes by a mechanism involving initial one-electron oxidation at nitrogen followed by scission of the cyclopropane ring leading to covalent modification of the enzyme. It is a mechanism-based inhibitor of quinoprotein methylamine dehydrogenase from Paracoccus denitrificans.

Cyclopropylamine is a mechanism-based inhibitor of the quinoprotein methylamine dehydrogenase (MADH) from Paracoccus denitrificans. The resulting inactivation is accompanied by the formation of a covalent cross-link between the alpha and beta subunits of MADH. The results of site-directed mutagenesis studies

An intermolecular Ti(IV)-mediated cyclopropanation reaction has been used to synthesize substituted 2-phenylcyclopropylamines and constrained analogues of the neurotransmitters histamine and tryptamine. Many hydroxy- and methoxy-substituted phenylcyclopropylamines are known to inhibit monoamine oxidase and have been shown to mimic hallucinogens. These

The role of single electron transfer (SET) in P450-catalyzed N-dealkylation reactions has been studied using the probe substrates N-cyclopropyl-N-methylaniline (2a) and N-(1'-methylcyclopropyl)-N-methylaniline (2b). In earlier work, we showed that SET oxidation of 2a by horseadish peroxidase leads exclusively to products
