Metfendrazine (developmental code names HM-11, MO-482), also known as methphendrazine, is an irreversible and nonselective monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) of the hydrazine family.[1][2] It was investigated as an antidepressant, but was never marketed.

Chemistry

Metfendrazine, also known as methamphetamine hydrazide, is a phenethylamine, amphetamine, and hydrazine derivative. It is an analogue and derivative of phenelzine (phenethylamine hydrazide) and pheniprazine (amphetamine hydrazide), as well as of phenethylamine, amphetamine, and methamphetamine.
