Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2008 May 15;18(10):3047-51. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2008.01.003. Epub 2008 Jan 8.

Abstract

A facile synthetic route to substituted trans-2-arylcyclopropylamines was developed to provide access to mechanism-based inhibitors of the human flavoenzyme oxidase lysine-specific histone demethylase LSD1 and related enzyme family members such as monoamine oxidases A and B.
