Tranylcypromine hydrochlorid (50 μM-5 mM; 1 h or 12-14 h) inhibits histone and nucleosomal demethylation[1]. Tranylcypromine hydrochlorid (2 μM; 3 h) shows a specific derepression of OCT4 transcription[1]. Tranylcypromine hydrochlorid (0-100 μM; 15 min) shows IC50 values of 20.7, 2.3 and 0.95 μM for LSD1, MAO A and MAO B, respectively[2]. Tranylcypromine hydrochlorid (0-800 μM) shows Ki values of 242.7, 101.9 and 16 μM for LSD1, MAO A and MAO B, respectively[2].

Tranylcypromine hydrochloride purchased from MedChemExpress. Usage Cited in: Biochem Pharmacol. 2025 Sep:239:117073. [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.

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (14.74 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (14.74 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
