Tranylcypromine(CAT: M068903) is an irreversible monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) used in the treatment of depression, particularly for patients with treatment-resistant cases. By inhibiting monoamine oxidase enzymes, it increases the levels of serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine in the brain, which are critical in regulating mood. Due to the non-selective inhibition of both MAO-A and MAO-B, it can cause interactions with certain foods and drugs, leading to potential hypertensive crises. Therefore, strict dietary and medication guidelines must be followed. Despite these challenges, tranylcypromine is an effective option for patients who do not respond to other antidepressants, offering relief in difficult-to-treat cases.
