    Tranylcypromine hemisulfate purchased from MedChemExpress. Usage Cited in: Biochem Pharmacol. 2025 Jun 23:117073.  [Abstract]

    Schematic diagram of Triflupromazine and Tranylcypromine hydrochloride alleviate primary cisplatin resistance in lung adenocarcinoma by promoting LDHA-mediated AMBRA1 ubiquitination. LDHA interacts with AMBRA1 via non-metabolic enzyme functions, promoting AMBRA1 ubiquitination and degradation, which leads to cisplatin resistance by regulating the cell cycle and apoptosis.

    Description

    Tranylcypromine (SKF 385) hemisulfate is an irreversible, nonselective monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitor used in the treatment of depression. Tranylcypromine hemisulfate is also a lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) inhibitor, suppresses lesion growth and improves generalized hyperalgesia in mouse with induced endometriosis. Tranylcypromine has antidepressant effects[1][2].

    IC50 & Target

    KDM1/LSD1

     

    In Vitro

    Tranylcypromine (10 nM to 10 μM) exerts neuroprotective effects against toxicity induced by human Aβ(1-42) oligomers independently from the presence of glial cells[1]. Tranylcypromine (100 μM) significantly protects RGCs from glutamate neurotoxicity-induced apoptosis as well as apoptosis induced by oxidative stress. Tranylcypromine promotes mitogen-activated protein kinase 12 (p38 MAPKγ) expression under conditions of glutamate (Glu)-induced stress. Besides, tranylcypromine contributes to RGC survival via alterations of p38 MAPKγ activity[3].

    In Vivo

    Tranylcypromine treatment significantly and substantially reduces the lesion size and improves generalized hyperalgesia in a dose-dependent fashion in mice with induced endometriosis. In addition, tranylcypromine treatment results in reduced immunoreactivity to biomarkers of proliferation, angiogenesis, and H3K4 methylation, leading to arrested EMT and lesion growth[2]. Tranylcypromine (500 mM) injection exerts neuroprotective effects within intracellular apoptotic signaling pathways and suppresses morphologic changes in the retina of the rat, suppresses caspase 3 activity and recovers p38 MAPKγ expression in the retina after NMDA-induced injury, and enhances RGC survival after retinal injury via the attenuation of NMDA neurotoxicity[3]. Tranylcypromine (10 μg/g) causes an approximate and significant doubling of labeled cells in the combined brain regions examined, as detected by BrdU immunohistochemistry. Tranylcypromine causes the greatest increase in cell proliferation in the cerebellum[4].

    Animal Administration
    [3]

    Briefly, the rats are anesthetized with an intraperitoneal injection of a 1:1 mixture of xylazine hydrochloride (4 mg/kg) and ketamine hydrochloride (10 mg/kg). Then, the pupil is dilated with phenylephrine hydrochloride and tropicamide eye drops, and 20 nmol NMDA with or without tranylcypromine is injected into the vitreous cavity. To assess the inhibitory effect of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), 100 nmol BIRB796 is intravitreally injected at the same time of NMDA injection. The injections are performed under a microscope using a 33-gauge needle connected to a microsyringe; the needle is inserted approximately 1.0 mm behind the corneal limbus. Next, either PBS (vehicle control) or 500 mM tranylcypromine (1000 nmol) mixed with 10 mM NMDA (20 nmol) in a total volume of 2.0 μL is injected into the vitreous cavity.

    Help & FAQs
    • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

      Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
