Safrazine

Safrazine (Safra) is a non-selective, irreversible monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) of the hydrazine class that was introduced as an antidepressant in the 1960s, but has since been discontinued alongside several old generation MAOIs in favor of the invention of RIMAs and more efficacious treatments for depression in general. ^[1]
