Description

Phenelzine CAS NO 51-71-8 is a potent monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) belonging to the hydrazine class of compounds. This active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) is critical for the formulation of antidepressant medications, offering a therapeutic option for treatment-resistant depression. It is primarily required by pharmaceutical manufacturers, research institutions, and fine chemical suppliers engaged in neuropharmacology and central nervous system (CNS) drug development.

Application

• Pharmaceutical API: Primary use as the active ingredient in antidepressant and anxiolytic drug formulations.
• Neuropharmacological Research: A key tool compound for studying monoamine oxidase (MAO) enzyme inhibition and neurotransmitter regulation in preclinical models.
• Reference Standard: Serves as a high-purity analytical standard for quality control and method development in pharmaceutical testing laboratories.
• Chemical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of more complex hydrazine derivatives and specialized fine chemicals for research purposes.
• Clinical Research Material: Supplied for use in clinical trials investigating new applications for MAOI therapies.

Quality Control

Our Phenelzine is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure it meets the rigorous standards required for pharmaceutical applications. Each batch is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles. We adhere to relevant pharmacopeial guidelines (such as USP/EP where applicable) and cGMP principles to guarantee consistency, traceability, and regulatory compliance for our global clientele.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent degradation. Keep away from incompatible materials.
