What is Toloxatone?

Description

Toloxatone is a selective, reversible and competitive inhibitor of type A monoamine oxidase (MAO-A) which shows clinical utility as an antidepressant. It is reportedly free of the "cheese effect" in man, possibly due to the reversible nature of its inhibitory effect on intestinal MAO-A in the presence of high concentrations of tyramine.
