	MAO Inhibitor - MSN Encarta
		Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) are a class of powerful antidepressant drugs prescribed for the treatment of depression.
		Properly known as monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors, these drugs work by inhibiting or preventing the enzyme monoamine oxidase, found in the nervous system, from breaking down neurotransmitters, chemicals in the brain that control nerve impulse transmission and affect mood.
		Because of the potential for serious side effects, patients taking MAO inhibitors are usually advised to carry a card or wear a bracelet that alerts medical personnel to their use of a MAO inhibitor in case of emergency.

		Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) are a class of antidepressant drugs prescribed for the treatment of depression.
		Due to potentially serious dietary and drug interactions they are used less frequently than other classes of antidepressant drugs (for example tricyclic antidepressants and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors).
		MAOIs act by inhibiting the activity of monoamine oxidase preventing the breakdown of monoamine neurotransmitters and so prolonging their effect.

	Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors Information on Healthline
		Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAO inhibitors) are medicines that relieve certain types of mental depression.
		MAO inhibitors are especially useful in treating people whose depression is combined with other problems such as anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, or the desire to sleep too much.
		Because MAO inhibitors work on the central nervous system, they may add to the effects of alcohol and other drugs that slow down the central nervous system, such as antihistamines, cold medicine, allergy medicine, sleep aids, medicine for seizures, tranquilizers, some pain relievers, and muscle relaxants.

		Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) nonspecifically inhibit type A and type B monoamine oxidases to block the degradation of norepinephrine, serotonin, and dopamine.
		(1, 5) Monoamine oxidase is an intracellular enzyme located in the mitochondria that catalyzes the conversion of biogenic amines (ie, norepinephrine and serotonin) to their deaminated products.
		However, monoamine oxidase is also responsible for metabolizing compounds, such as tyramine, which are present in certain aged cheeses and other food substances.

		When released into the synaptic space, neurotransmitters are either reabsorbed into the proximal nerve and metabolized by monoamine oxidase (MAO) or destroyed by catechol-o-methyl transferase in the synaptic cleft.
		Circulating monoamines, such as epinephrine, norepinephrine, and dopamine, are inactivated when they pass through a liver rich in MAO-A. MAO-B, on the other hand, is found primarily in the brain and in platelets.
		Monoamine oxidase is responsible for the deactivation of active monoamines such as epinephrine, norepinephrine, dopamine, and serotonin.

		MAO inhibitors can also be used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease (by affecting dopaminergic neurons), as well as an alternative for migraine prophylaxis.
		There are two isoforms of monoamine oxidase, MAO-A and MAO-B. MAO-A preferentially deaminates serotonin, melatonin, adrenaline and noradrenaline.
		The phenethylamine derivatives substituted with a sulfur at the 4-position, such as 2C-T-7 are quite potent MAO-A inhibitors, which makes them potentially dangerous when taken in large doses, or when combined with stimulants such as ephedrine or MDMA.

	Ephedrine
		Abstract: The classical monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) are believed to have serious risks because of interactions with other drugs and foodstuffs, although not with a sound scientific basis in all cases.
		This syndrome probably arose as a consequence of an interaction between the monoamine oxidase inhibitor selegiline, the sympathomimetic agent ephedrine, and a tricyclic antidepressant.
		The mechanism of the interaction is thought to be related to increased sympathetic release of noradrenaline by ephedrine, inhibition of catabolism by selegiline, and inhibition of reuptake of noradrenaline by the tricyclic.
