The invention discloses use of a beggarweed alkaloid monomer component. A beggarweed alkaloid monomer contains bufotenin, 5-Hydroxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamineN12-oxide and 5-methoxy-N,N-dimenthyl tryptamine. The use of the beggarweed alkaloid monomer component is used for preparing a monoamine oxidase inhibitor, namely the use in preparation of a medicament for preventing and treating depressive disorder and Parkinsonism.

Compositions containing monoamine oxidase inhibitors prepared by removal of alcohol from agave-derived beverages are disclosed.

A mechanism of monoamine oxidases (MAOs) driven epithelium-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is disclosed. Also disclosed are methods for treating cancer by inhibiting or suppressing MAOs in cancer cells. Novel MAOs inhibitors, such as small molecules, siRNA, shRNA, antisense oligonucleotides, aptamers, decoys, and pharmaceutical compositions useful for treating cancer by disrupting the workings of MAOs are provided. In particular, a class of conjugates formed by covalently conjugating near infrared dye 783, IR-780, and MHI-148 to a MAO inhibitor, such as clorgyline, with and without encapsulation it in a nanoparticle is provided. Other aspects of the invention include methods for forming the nano-conjugates, method for monitoring treatment progress in a cancer patient by monitoring the changes in MAO activity, methods for screening patients who are at risk of cancer or differentiating different forms of cancer by assaying the level and location of MAO activity.

Administration of a monoamine oxidase inhibitor is useful in the prevention and treatment of muscle dystrophy. Methods and compositions for inhibiting the production of reactive oxygen species in a muscle cell overproducing reactive oxygen species are provided herein.

The present invention provides systems, compositions and methods for treatment of dopaminergic disorders (e.g., Parkinson's disease) using the combination of a first compound that inhibits a voltage-gated calcium channel of the type Cav1.3 (e.g., a dihydropyridine such as isradipine), and a second compound that is monoamine oxidase inhibitor and / or is a nitric oxide synthase inhibitor (e.g., rasagiline or derivative thereof).
