Iproniazid - Iproniazid

…Monoamine oxidase inhibitors inhibit the breakdown of central nervous system chemical transmitters such as adrenaline, noradrenaline, and serotonin, causing the accumulation of amines in the brain and exerting a central stimulant effect. Iproniazid and nialamide belong to this group.

 1951年に結核治療薬としてイソニアジド(INAH)やその誘導体イプロニアジドが使われはじめると,副作用として浮かれ気分や躁状態を起こすことがわかり,翌年にはイプロニアジドがモノアミン酸化酵素を抑制することが知られた。この酵素抑制作用が抗鬱作用と関係があると考えられ,64年くらいまでに多くのモノアミン酸化酵素抑制薬が抗鬱薬として登場したが,心因性鬱病にしか効かないことと肝障害を起こすことから利用されなくなった。…
