Clorgiline is a monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitor. Specifically, it is an irreversible and selective inhibitor of MAO-A. Clorgiline was under investigation for antidepressant and anxiolytic potential but has never been marketed, likely due to efficacy concerns. It continues to see routine use as a molecular probe in biomedical research examining a number of neurological disease and cancer models. In addition to inhibiting the MAO-A receptor, it has also been found to bind to the sigma1 receptor, and with high affinity to the I2 imidazoline receptor.

Sample Use Guides

Patients suffering depression were administered 30 mg/day of Clorgyline for three or more weeks. However, this regime produced negligible changes in trace amine excretion including, phenylethylamine, para-tyramine, and meta-tyramine.
Route of Administration: Unknown
T24, HCT116, and HL60 cells were incubated overnight and treated with 1 micro-, 0.3 µM or 0.1 µM of 5-Aza-CdR, respectively for 24 hours. After removal of 5-Aza-CdR, cells were treated with 10 µM clorgyline every day for 21 days. Multiple doses of clorgyline were tested: 1 µM, 10 µM, and 100 µM. Clorgyline was found to impair cell growth in a dose-dependent manner and the optimal dose was identified as 10 microM.
