Phenelzine Uses
2-Phenylethylhydrazine (CAS NO.51-71-8) is used primarily in the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD). Patients with depressive symptomology characterized as "atypical", "nonendogenous", and/or "neurotic", have been reported to respond particularly well to phenelzine. The medication has also been found to be useful in patients who do not respond favorably to first and second-line treatments for depression, or are said to be "treatment-resistant". In addition to being a recognized treatment for major depressive disorder, it has been found in studies to be effective in treating dysthymia, bipolar depression (BD), panic disorder (PD), social anxiety disorder (SAD), bulimia, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Phenelzine Specification
2-Phenylethylhydrazine (CAS NO.51-71-8) is an irreversible and nonselective and monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) of the hydrazine chemical class which is used as an antidepressant and anxiolytic. Along with tranylcypromine and isocarboxazid, phenelzine is one of the few nonselective MAOIs still in widespread clinical use. 2-Phenylethylhydrazine and the other MAOIs are typically considered to be significantly more effective against clinical depression in comparison to more mainstream antidepressants like the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), but are usually reserved only as a last resort due to their prominent side effects and potentially hazardous food and drug interactions. Notably, phenelzine has shown unique efficacy in treating anxiety disorders, likely due to its actions on GABA concentrations.
