Metralindole (Inkazan) is a reversible inhibitor of monoamine oxidase A (RIMA) which was used in Russia as an antidepressant. Inkasan (3-methyl-8-methoxy-3H, 1,2,5,6- tetrahydropyrazine /1.2.3-ab/-beta-carboline hydrochloride) has pharmacological properties characteristic of antidepressants. The clinical antidepressant effect of inkasan is combined with stimulating action. The drug is primarily indicated for patients in whom adynamic (anergic) disturbances are predominant in the clinical picture of depression.

In Vivo Use Guide
Curator's Comment: Metralindole (Inkazan) was also used orally (10 mg/kg) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2728714
Cats: Electroencephalographic investigations conducted by L. F. Roshchina showed that in cats inkazan in doses of 10-40 mg/kg (intravenously) caused increased cortical and subcortical activity and intensified the reaction of cortex to photo- and photon stimulation. The electrophysiological response of inkazan persists for 3-4 h. In doses of 5-50 mg/kg administered intraperitoneally, the preparation slows conditioned reflexes of avoidance in rats.
