Minaprine dihydrochloride functions as a reversible inhibitor of monoamine oxidase (MAO). It acts by binding to the active site of the enzyme, preventing the oxidation of monoamine neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine. This inhibition leads to an increase in the levels of these neurotransmitters in the synaptic cleft, thereby prolonging their action and enhancing neurotransmission. Its mechanism of action involves the modulation of intracellular signaling pathways and the regulation of gene expression related to cell survival and neuroprotection.
