Product Description
Iproniazid (brand/other names of Marsilid, Rivivol, Euphozid, Iprazid, Ipronid, Ipronin) is a non-selective, and irreversible monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI). Monoamine oxidases is a family of FAD-containing enzymes and is an important target for antidepressant drugs. Iproniazid has been used as an antidepressive agent in many countries. It is a xenobiotic that was originally designed to treat tuberculosis, but was later found to act most prominently as an antidepressant drug. The medical use of iproniazid was discontinued in most of the world due to its hepatotoxicity, but remained in use in France until fairly recently.
Iproniazid (CAS#: 54-92-2) is a hydrazine-based drug that was the first antidepressant developed. It is a non-selective, irreversible monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitor (MAOI) that was originally used as an antidepressant and also as an anti-tuberculosis agent.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Iproniazid targets monoamine oxidase (MAO), an enzyme that catalyzes the oxidative deamination of monoamine neurotransmitters including serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine. As an irreversible inhibitor of both MAO-A and MAO-B, it increases the levels of these neurotransmitters in the brain.
ln Vitro
Iproniazid is a non-selective, irreversible monoamine oxidase inhibitor. By inhibiting MAO, it prevents the breakdown of monoamine neurotransmitters, leading to increased synaptic levels of serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine. This mechanism underlies its antidepressant effects. The compound was the first antidepressant developed.
ln Vivo
In vivo, Iproniazid was used as an antidepressant and also as an anti-tuberculosis drug. Its use as an antidepressant was limited due to significant toxicity, including hepatotoxicity. Despite this, it represents an important historical compound in the development of psychopharmacology.
Enzyme Assay
Cell-free MAO assays for Iproniazid utilize purified MAO-A or MAO-B enzyme and a suitable substrate (e.g., kynuramine, tyramine, or serotonin). The enzyme reaction is performed in the presence of increasing concentrations of the compound. The production of the deaminated metabolite is quantified spectrophotometrically or by fluorometry. IC50 values are determined from concentration-response curves.
Cell Assay
Cells expressing MAO (e.g., neuronal cell lines, hepatocytes) are treated with Iproniazid at various concentrations. MAO activity is assessed by measuring the metabolism of monoamine substrates. Cellular monoamine levels are measured by HPLC. Cell viability is monitored to assess cytotoxicity.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies for Iproniazid were historically conducted in rodent models of depression. The compound was administered via oral or intraperitoneal routes. Behavioral assays (e.g., forced swim test, tail suspension test) were performed to assess antidepressant-like effects. Monoamine levels in brain tissue were measured.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Iproniazid is orally bioavailable. As a small molecule (MW 179.22, formula C9H13N3O), it is absorbed after oral administration and distributed to various tissues. The compound is metabolized in the liver. PK parameters have been characterized in historical studies.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Iproniazid has significant toxicity, particularly hepatotoxicity, which limited its clinical use. It can also cause orthostatic hypotension, dizziness, and other adverse effects. As an irreversible MAOI, it has potential for drug interactions and dietary tyramine interactions (hypertensive crisis). Standard toxicological assessments were conducted historically.

Additional Infomation
Iproniazid is a carbapenemhydrin compound belonging to the pyridine class. Due to interactions with tyrosine-containing foods, it was withdrawn from the Canadian market in July 1964. It is an irreversible monoamine oxidase A and B inhibitor used as an antidepressant. It was also used as an anti-tuberculosis drug, but its use was limited due to its toxicity. Drug Indications: For the treatment of depression (originally used to treat tuberculosis). Pharmacodynamics: Iproniazid is a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) and was the first antidepressant developed.
Iproniazid (molecular formula C9H13N3O, MW 179.22) is also known as Marsilid, Iprazid, and 1-Isonicotinoyl-2-isopropylhydrazine. It was the first antidepressant developed and was originally used as an anti-tuberculosis drug. Its use was limited due to hepatotoxicity. The compound is intended for research use only.
