In rat brain the tranylcypromine administration induces after two hours a 151% increase of serotonin levels and a 50% fall of glycogen concentration. The activity of phosphorylase a and b and the glycolytic flow rate are unchanged.

Safinamide (SAF) is currently used to treat Parkinson's disease (PD) symptoms based on its theoretical ability to potentiate the dopamine (DA) signal, blocking monoamine oxidase (MAO) B. The present work aims to highlight the functional relevance of SAF as an enhancer of the DA signal, by evaluating its ability to prolong recovery from DA-mediated firing inhibition of DAergic neurons of the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc), compared to another MAO antagonist, tranylcypromine (TCP). Using multielectrode array (MEA) and single electrode extracellular recordings of spontaneous spikes from presumed SNpc DAergic cells in vitro, we show that SAF (30 μM) mildly prolongs the DA-mediated firing inhibition, as opposed to the profound effect of TCP (10 μM).

Precedential evidence ascertaining the overexpression of LSD1 and HDACs in colorectal cancer spurred us to design a series of dual LSD1-HDAC inhibitors. Capitalizing on the modular nature of the three-component HDAC inhibitory model, tranylcypromine as a surface recognition motif was appended to zinc-binding motifs via diverse linkers. A compendium of hydroxamic acids was generated and evaluated for cytotoxicity against HCT-116 cells (human colorectal cancer cell lines).

Background: Corneal neovascularization (CNV) is a sight-threatening condition that necessitates epigenetic control. The role of lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) in CNV remains unclear, despite its established significance in tumor angiogenesis regulation.
Methods: An alkali burn-induced CNV mouse model was used .

However, there are currently no effective pharmacological interventions for patients with noise-induced hearing loss.

The Mediterranean diet well known for its beneficial health effects, including mood enhancement, is characterised by the relatively high consumption of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), which is rich in bioactive phenolic compounds. Over 200 phenolic compounds have been associated with , and of these, only a relatively small fraction have been characterised. Utilising the OliveNet library, phenolic compounds were investigated as potential inhibitors of the epigenetic modifier lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1).
