Cimoxatone is a reversible, selective inhibitor of monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A), a drug that has been studied for its antidepressant effects. It works by preventing the breakdown of neurotransmitters like serotonin, which can help improve symptoms of depression. While it showed promise in clinical studies, it was considered a new type of MAOI compared to older, non-selective, and irreversible ones, and its development for widespread use may have been limited. The directory classifies it as a discontinued API with a synthetic source/manufacturing origin. Other names for this substance include Cimoxatonum and Cimoxatona. Its PubChem CID is 52542.
