Tranylcypromine hydrochloride is a non-selective, irreversible inhibitor of monoamine oxidase (MAO), primarily targeting MAO-A and MAO-B. By inhibiting MAO, it prevents the breakdown of neurotransmitters such as serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine, leading to increased synaptic levels and enhanced neurotransmission. Clinically, tranylcypromine hydrochloride is used as an antidepressant for treating major depressive disorder (MDD), particularly in cases resistant to other treatments.
