Abstract
Mechanism of the monoamine oxidase inhibition by tranylcypromine was studied in relation to its metabolism to reactive species. A metabolic study performed to collect general biotransformation pathway in rats provided GC/MS evidence for the detection of two new metabolites, N-acetyl and hydroxylated N-acetyltranylcypromine.
