Use of Bifemelane hydrochloride

Bifemelane hydrochloride is a potent, selective and competitive inhibitor of monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A), with a Ki of 4.20 μM, and it also inhibits MAO-B noncompetitively with a Ki of 46.0 μM. Bifemelane hydrochloride has a potent antidepressant activity and can be used for the research of cognitive and emotional disturbances related to cerebrovascular disease[1][2].

Target	MAO-A:4.2 μM (Ki) MAO-B:46 μM (Ki)
In Vitro	Bifemelane inhibits MAO-A in a dose-dependent manner, with Kis of 4.2±0.2 and 14.1±0.7 μM in human brain synaptosomes and human liver mitochondria respectively[1]. Bifemelane inhibits MAO-B activities in a dose-dependent manner, with Kis of 46.0±3.6 and 65.2±7.0 μM in human brain synaptosomes and human liver mitochondria respectively[1].
In Vivo	Bifemelane (20-80 mg/kg; i.p.) dose-dependently decreases exploratory activity in the open field test[3]. Bifemelane (20-80 mg/kg; i.p.) decreases immobility time in the forced swim test, although is not clearly dosedependent and has already reached ceiling at 20 mg/kg[3]. Animal Model: Wistar male rats (230-270 g) are induced hypothermia by Reserpine[3] Dosage: 20, 40, 80 mg/kg Administration: A single i.p. Result: Attenuated the Reserpine-induced hypothermia by a maximum of 10 ℃.
