Befloxatone
Befloxatone (MD-370503) is an orally active, selective and reversible inhibitor of Monoamine Oxidase A (MAO-A) (IC50=4 nM). Befloxatone increases the tissue level of monoamine, striatal dopamine and cortical norepinephrine. Befloxatone has antidepressant potential.

Biological Activity
|
MAO-A 4 nM (IC50) |
MAO-B 300 nM (IC50) |
Befloxatone (1 mg/kg; i.p.; single dose) induces elevated levels of dopamine and corticonorepinephrine in the extracellular striatum of rats, but not elevates levels of corticoserotonin[1].
Befloxatone (0.03-0.3 mg/kg; p.o.; single dose) effectively inhibits the firing rate of serotonergic neurons and partially reduces the firing of norepinephric neurons, but had no effect on the firing of dopaminergic neurons in rats[1].
Befloxatone (1.5 mg/kg; p.o.; single dose) does not enhance the pressor effect of the central active dose of oral tyramine and has a broad safety profile in rats[1].
