Product Description
Pheniprazine HCl is a potent, long-acting MAO (monoamine oxidase) inhibitor. Pheniprazine HCl may be used for studying depression.
Pheniprazine hydrochloride (CAS# 66-05-7) is a potent, irreversible monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) of the hydrazine class. Its molecular formula is C₉H₁₃ClN₂ and its molecular weight is 184.67 g/mol. It is a phenethylamine derivative and has been studied for its antidepressant effects. Pheniprazine acts by inhibiting the enzyme monoamine oxidase (MAO), which is responsible for the breakdown of neurotransmitters such as serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine, thereby increasing their synaptic levels.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
The primary target of Pheniprazine hydrochloride is monoamine oxidase (MAO), specifically both MAO-A and MAO-B isoforms, though it is more potent as an MAO-A inhibitor. By irreversibly binding to the enzyme, it prevents the oxidative deamination of monoamine neurotransmitters, leading to elevated levels of serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine in the brain. This mechanism underlies its antidepressant and anxiolytic effects. It has been used in research to study the role of MAO in mood regulation.
ln Vitro
In vitro, Pheniprazine hydrochloride is a potent inhibitor of MAO activity. Its inhibitory effect can be measured using enzyme assays that monitor the oxidation of substrates like kynuramine or benzylamine. The compound's irreversible nature is confirmed by the need for de novo enzyme synthesis to restore activity. Its IC₅₀ values for MAO-A and MAO-B are in the low micromolar range, though exact numbers may vary depending on the assay conditions.
ln Vivo
In vivo, Pheniprazine hydrochloride has been shown to produce antidepressant-like effects in animal models of depression, such as the forced swim test and tail suspension test. It increases brain monoamine levels, which correlates with its behavioral effects. The compound has been studied in clinical settings for depression, but due to its potent and irreversible MAO inhibition, it has a significant side-effect profile and is now mainly a research tool.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme assays for Pheniprazine hydrochloride measure the inhibition of MAO activity. The enzyme is typically prepared from rat brain mitochondria or recombinant human MAO-A and MAO-B. The compound is preincubated with the enzyme, then a substrate (e.g., kynuramine) is added, and the formation of a fluorescent product (4-hydroxyquinoline) is monitored over time. IC₅₀ values are calculated from inhibition curves. These assays are for research purposes.
Cell Assay
In vitro cell-based assays for Pheniprazine hydrochloride evaluate its effects on neurotransmitter levels and cell viability. Neuronal cell lines such as SH-SY5Y or PC12 cells are treated with the compound, and intracellular levels of monoamines can be measured by HPLC. The compound's cytotoxicity is assessed using MTT or LDH assays. These studies help characterize its pharmacological and toxicological profile at the cellular level.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies for Pheniprazine hydrochloride typically involve rodents. The compound is administered intraperitoneally or orally, and behavioral tests are performed. For example, the forced swim test measures immobility time, which is reduced by antidepressants. Brain tissue is collected for monoamine analysis using HPLC. Liver and kidney function may be assessed due to potential hepatotoxicity. All procedures must comply with institutional guidelines.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
The pharmacokinetic properties of Pheniprazine hydrochloride include rapid absorption and extensive distribution. It is metabolized in the liver, and its irreversible inhibition of MAO results in a long-lasting effect that extends beyond the compound's half-life. Its molecular weight is 184.67 g/mol. The compound is typically stored at room temperature in a dry place.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The toxicity profile of Pheniprazine hydrochloride is significant. As an irreversible MAOI, it can cause hypertensive crisis when combined with tyramine-containing foods or sympathomimetic drugs. Hepatotoxicity and central nervous system stimulation are also concerns. It is classified as a research compound and is not approved for human use in most countries. Standard safety precautions should be taken.
