Biochem/physiol Actions

trans-2-Phenylcyclopropylamine acts as an inhibitor of lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1). It exhibits anti-depressant and anxiolytic activity. Tranylcypromine shows therapeutic effects against mood and anxiety issues. It also exhibits anti-osteoclastogenic effects through monoamine oxidase-A (MAO-A). Tranylcypromine may play a role in bone remodeling in mice.
Non-selective MAO-A/B inhibitor.

Identification of anti-osteoclastogenic agents is important for the treatment of bone loss diseases that feature excessive osteoclast (OC) activity and bone resorption. Tranylcypromine (TCP), an irreversible inhibitor of monoamine oxidase (MAO), has been used as an antidepressant and anxiolytic agent

Histone modifications, such as acetylation and methylation, are important epigenetic marks that regulate diverse biological processes that use chromatin as the template, including transcription. Dysregulation of histone acetylation and methylation leads to the silencing of tumor suppressor genes and contributes
