Khellin as a selective monoamine oxidase B inhibitor ameliorated paclitaxel-induced peripheral neuropathy in mice.

Our work might be the first to report that MAOB not MAOA is selectively overexpressed in the spinal cord and DRG tissues of PIPN mice, and all findings have highly addressed the potency of selective MAOB inhibitor in the amelioration of PIPN-like pathology and highlighted the potential of Khe in treating PTX-induced side effects.
