Minaprine (INN, USAN, BAN; brand names Brantur, Cantor) is a monoamine oxidase inhibitor antidepressant drug that was used in France for the treatment of depression until it was withdrawn from the market in 1996 because it caused convulsions.[2][3]

A study found that it acts as a reversible inhibitor of MAO-A (RIMA) in rats.[4] It has also been found to weakly inhibit acetylcholinesterase in rat brain (striatum) homogenates.[5]

It has demonstrated significant antibiotic activity against M. chelonae and M. abscessus in tests with antibiotic resistant bacteria.[6]

Synthesis

[edit]

The first synthesis of minaprine was disclosed in patents published in 1979.[7]

The final step is the reaction between a chloro-substituted pyridazine and the primary amine group of a morpholine derivative.[7][8] The required pyridazine can be made by the reaction of acetophenone and pyruvic acid, followed by ring formation using hydrazine, giving a pyrazidinone. Treatment of this with phosphoryl chloride converts it to the required chloro derivative.[2]
