    Product Description

    Iproniazid is an inhibitor of monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A) and MAO-B (IC50s = 6.56 and 7.54 µM, respectively).1 It reduces immobility in an open swimming test in rats, indicating antidepressant-like activity, when administered at a dose of 10 mg/kg.2 Iproniazid (300 and 400 mg/kg) induces acute hepatic necrosis in rats.3 Formulations containing iproniazid were previously used in the treatment of depression.

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
