Description

Tranylcypromine (2-Pcpa) Hcl is a high-purity, pharmaceutically relevant compound supplied under CAS NO 4548-34-9. It serves as a critical intermediate and reference standard in the research and development of monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors. This product is essential for pharmaceutical manufacturers, academic research institutions, and contract research organizations (CROs) focused on neuropharmacology and CNS drug discovery.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block in the synthesis of MAO inhibitor drugs and related therapeutic agents.
• Biochemical Research: Used as a potent, irreversible inhibitor of monoamine oxidase enzymes (MAO-A and MAO-B) in enzymatic assays and mechanistic studies.
• Reference Standard: Serves as a certified reference material (CRM) for quality control and analytical method development in pharmaceutical laboratories.
• Neuropharmacology Studies: Employed in *in vitro* and *in vivo* models to study neurotransmitter regulation, depression, and anxiety disorders.
• Academic & Contract Research: A vital tool for universities and CROs conducting preclinical research on CNS-targeting compounds.
• Metabolite Synthesis: Used in the preparation of labeled or unlabeled metabolites for pharmacokinetic and ADME studies.
