Mebanazine (trade name Actomol) is a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) of the hydrazine chemical class that was previously used as an antidepressant in the 1960s, but has since been withdrawn due to hepatotoxicity.[1][2][3]
Mebanazine in animals is claimed to be a more potent MAOI than pheniprazine with a greater therapeutic index.[4]
