    Tranylcypromine (contracted from trans-2-phenylcyclopropylamine; original trade name Parnate)[1] is a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI); more specifically, tranylcypromine acts as nonselective and irreversible inhibitor of the enzyme monoamine oxidase (MAO).[2][4] It is used as an antidepressant and anxiolytic agent in the clinical treatment of mood and anxiety disorders, respectively.

    Tranylcypromine is a propylamine formed from the cyclization of amphetamine's side chain; therefore, it is classified as a substituted amphetamine.

    Medical uses

    Tranylcypromine is used to treat major depressive disorder, including atypical depression, especially when there is an anxiety component, typically as a second line treatment.[5] It is also used in depression that is not responsive to reuptake inhibitor antidepressants, such as the SSRIs, TCAs, or bupropion.[6]

    Contraindications

    Contraindications include:[5][6][7]

    Dietary restrictions

    Tyramine is a common component in many foods, and is normally rapidly metabolized by MAO-A. Individuals not taking MAOIs may consume at least 2 grams of tyramine in a meal and not experience an increase in blood pressure, whereas those taking MAOIs such as tranylcypromine may experience a sharp increase in blood pressure following consumption of as little as 10 mg of tyramine, which can lead to hypertensive crisis.[3][7]

    Foods containing tyramine include aged cheeses, cured meats, tofu and certain red wines. Some, such as yeast extracts, contain enough tyramine to be potentially fatal in a single serving. Spoiled food is also likely to contain dangerous levels of tyramine.[5]

    Adverse effects

    Incidence of adverse effects[8]

    Very common (>10% incidence) adverse effects include:

    Common (1-10% incidence) adverse effects include:

    Other (unknown incidence) adverse effects include:

    Of note, there has not been found to be a correlation between sex and age below 65 regarding incidence of adverse effects.[8]

    Tranylcypromine is not associated with weight gain and has a low risk for hepatotoxicity compared to the hydrazine MAOIs.[8][6]

    It is generally recommended that MAOIs be discontinued prior to anesthesia; however, this creates a risk of recurrent depression. In a retrospective observational cohort study, patients on tranylcypromine undergoing general anesthesia had a lower incidence of intraoperative hypotension, while there was no difference between patients not taking an MAOI regarding intraoperative incidence of bradycardia, tachycardia, or hypertension.[9] The use of indirect sympathomimetic drugs or drugs affecting serotonin reuptake, such as meperidine or dextromethorphan poses a risk for hypertension and serotonin syndrome respectively; alternative agents are recommended.[10][11] Other studies have come to similar conclusions.[8] Pharmacokinetic interactions with anesthetics are unlikely, given that tranylcypromine is a high-affinity substrate for CYP2A6 and does not inhibit CYP enzymes at therapeutic concentrations.[3]

    Tranylcypromine abuse has been reported at doses ranging from 120–600 mg per day.[5][12][8] It is thought that higher doses have more amphetamine-like effects and abuse is promoted by the fast onset and short half-life of tranylcypromine.[8]

    Cases of suicidal ideation and suicidal behaviours have been reported during tranylcypromine therapy or early after treatment discontinuation.[5]

    Symptoms of tranylcypromine overdose are generally more intense manifestations of its usual effects.[5]

    Interactions

    In addition to contraindicated concomitant medications, tranylcypromine inhibits CYP2A6, which may reduce the metabolism and increase the toxicity of substrates of this enzyme, such as:[7]

    Norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors prevent neuronal uptake of tyramine and may reduce its pressor effects.[7]

    Pharmacology

    Pharmacodynamics

    Tranylcypromine acts as a nonselective and irreversible inhibitor of monoamine oxidase.[2] Regarding the isoforms of monoamine oxidase, it shows slight preference for the MAOB isoenzyme over MAOA.[3] This leads to an increase in the availability of monoamines, such as serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine, as well as a marked increase in the availability of trace amines, such as tryptamine, octopamine, and phenethylamine.[3][7] The clinical relevance of increased trace amine availability is unclear.

    It may also act as a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor at higher therapeutic doses.[3] Compared to amphetamine, tranylcypromine shows low potency as a dopamine releasing agent, with even weaker potency for norepinephrine and serotonin release.[3][7]

    Tranylcypromine has also been shown to inhibit the histone demethylase, BHC110/LSD1. Tranylcypromine inhibits this enzyme with an IC50 < 2 µM, thus acting as a small molecule inhibitor of histone demethylation with an effect to derepress the transcriptional activity of BHC110/LSD1 target genes.[13] The clinical relevance of this effect is unknown.

    Tranylcypromine has been found to inhibit CYP46A1 at nanomolar concentrations.[14] The clinical relevance of this effect is unknown.

    Mechanism of tranylcypromine inhibition of MAO.[15]

    Pharmacokinetics

    Tranylcypromine reaches its maximum concentration (tmax) within 1–2 hours.[3] After a 20 mg dose, plasma concentrations reach at most 50-200 ng/mL.[3] While its half-life is only about 2 hours, its pharmacodynamic effects last several days to weeks due to irreversible inhibition of MAO.[3]

    Metabolites of tranylcypromine include 4-hydroxytranylcypromine, N-acetyltranylcypromine, and N-acetyl-4-hydroxytranylcypromine, which are less potent MAO inhibitors than tranylcypromine itself.[3] Amphetamine was once thought to be a metabolite of tranylcypromine, but has not been shown to be.[3][16][7]

    Tranylcypromine inhibits CYP2A6 at therapeutic concentrations.[7]

    Synthesis

    Synthesis of tranylcypromine[17]

    History

    Tranylcypromine was originally developed as an analog of amphetamine.[2][3] Although it was first synthesized in 1948,[18] its MAOI action was not discovered until 1959. Precisely because tranylcypromine was not, like isoniazid and iproniazid, a hydrazine derivative, its clinical interest increased enormously, as it was thought it might have a more acceptable therapeutic index than previous MAOIs.[19]

    The drug was introduced by Smith, Kline and French in the United Kingdom in 1960, and approved in the United States in 1961.[20] It was withdrawn from the market in February 1964 due to a number of patient deaths involving hypertensive crises with intracranial bleeding. However, it was reintroduced later that year with more limited indications and specific warnings of the risks.[21][3][7]

    Research

    Tranylcypromine is known to inhibit LSD1, an enzyme that selectively demethylates two lysines found on histone H3.[13][3][22] Genes promoted downstream of LSD1 are involved in cancer cell growth and metastasis, and several tumor cells express high levels of LSD1.[22] Tranylcypromine analogues with more potent and selective LSD1 inhibitory activity are being researched in the potential treatment of cancers.[22][23]

    Tranylcypromine may have neuroprotective properties applicable to the treatment of Parkinson's disease, similar to the MAO-B inhibitors selegiline and rasagiline.[24][6] As of 2017, only one clinical trial in Parkinsonian patients has been conducted, which found some improvement initially and only slight worsening of symptoms after a 1.5 year followup.[6]
