Toloxatone is a reversible monoamine oxidase A inhibitor (MAOI) and antidepressant.
Toloxatone is a reversible monoamine oxidase A inhibitor (MAOI) and antidepressant. Toloxatone belongs to the aryloxazolidinones, a relatively new class of reversible monoamine oxidase A inhibitors (MAOI). Studies show that derivatives such as 3-aryloxazolidin-2-one (oxazolidinones), which are regularly used to treat gram positive infections, represent a new class of reversible as well as irreversible inhibitors for MAO-A and MAO-B enzymes that are able to inhibit protein synthesis and also used for neurodegenerative-type pathologies.
Preparation Note
Toloxatone is soluble in DMSO at a concentration that is greater than 10 mg/ml.

The pharmacokinetics of toloxatone and ethanol were determined in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid of conscious rabbits. According to a cross-over design, rabbits (n = 5) randomly received on three separate occasions either toloxatone (5 mg/kg), ethanol (1 g/kg), or toloxatone
Eight compounds were isolated from the roots of Glycyrrhiza uralensis and tested for cholinesterase (ChE) and monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitory activities. The coumarin glycyrol (GC) effectively inhibited butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) with IC50 values of 7.22 and 14.77 µM
A double-blind comparison of moclobemide and toloxatone was performed in adult out-patients diagnosed as suffering from a major depressive disorder. Parallel groups of patients received moclobemide, 450 mg/day (n = 135) or toloxatone, 1000 mg/day (n = 133) for 28

The effect of a short treatment (7 days) with the reversible monoamine oxidase type A inhibitor toloxatone on the reactivity to the inhalation of 35% CO2 was evaluated in 18 panic patients who responded to 35% CO2 inhalation with panic

A method for the analytical and micropreparative separation of toloxatone and its urinary metabolites in man is described. Toloxatone was given as an aqueous solution and was labelled with 14C. Following solvent extraction of urine, before and after enzymatic hydrolysis
Serotonin is stored in cells and metabolized by MAO, influencing CNS, GI, and platelet functions.
