an inhibitor of monoamine oxydase (MAO).

Derivative of heterocyclic row C₁₃H₁₄N₂O.HCl synthetic

• Molecular Weight : 250.5 Da.
  
  
• Melting Point : 218-219 °C.
  
  
• Solubility in : well in in hot acetone and alcohol.
  
  
• Purity min. : 94% (HPLC).
  
  
• Biological Activity : Enhances the toxicity of the Phenamine group and of Tryptamine. Highly potentiates the headshaking caused by 4, 5-oxytryptophan in albino mice. Its activity as a MAO inhibitor is close to that of harmine, but it differs in enhancing the effect of soporifics in relatively small doses and causing by itself, in high doses, a sleep lasting 15 mn to 2 hours.
  
  
• Toxicity (LD₅₀) : mice (i.v.): 235 mg/kg. mice (i.p.): 374 mg/kg.
  
  
• Storage recommendations : Store at +4°C, in dark place.
  
  
• CAS Reg. No. : 21314-60-3
