The invention belongs to the technical field of active substance screening, and particularly relates to a method for high-
throughput screening of a
monoamine oxidase B inhibitor. The method comprises the following steps: incubating
monoamine oxidase B and a
drug-containing brain homogenate extracting solution, removing components which are not specifically bound by using an affinity
ultrafiltration technology, eluting by using
methanol to obtain a potential ligand, and identifying by using UPLC-Q-Exactive-MS (Ultra Performance Liquid
Chromatography-Quantitative Exactive-
Mass Spectrometry). Meanwhile, inactivated
monoamine oxidase B is used as a control, interference of the control, false positive and non-specific binding is eliminated, the in-vitro
monoamine oxidase B inhibition effect of the identification ligand is measured, and the result proves that the compound screened by using the affinity
ultrafiltration-liquid
chromatography-
mass spectrometry technology has the
monoamine oxidase B inhibition activity. The method disclosed by the invention is rapid, simple, convenient, stable, high in precision and good in reproducibility, and has a wide application prospect in the aspect of rapidly screening target compounds in natural medicines.
