(2-phenylcyclopropyl)amine
Tranylcypromine is an irreversible monoamine oxidase inhibitor used for the treatment of depression. It increases the concentration of monoamines such as serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine in the synaptic cleft. Due to its mechanism of action, interactions with certain foods and medications must be considered. The substance can cause side effects such as increased blood pressure and sleep disturbances.
