Tranylcypromine hemisulfate (Tranylcypromine Sulfate) is an inhibitor of monoamine oxidase (MAO) and lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) with a rapid onset of activity.

The authors evaluated whether tranylcypromine contributes to neuronal survival following stress-induced damage using primary cultured rat RGCs and in vivo N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)-induced excitotoxicity.?Additionally, the molecules associated with tranylcypromine treatment were assessed by microarray and immunoblot analysis[1].
