Target

Target: Monoamine oxidase[1]

In Vitro Harmaline inhibits monoamine oxidases, thus increasing the levels of monoamine neurotransmitters (e.g., at 7-70 μM/kg in rats)[1]. Harmaline-induced tremor in rodents is a model of essential tremor. The tremor activity is dependent on harmaline dose. The first-line clinical essential tremor treatments propranolol, primidone and gabapentin and γ-hydroxybutyrate (GHB) significantly attenuate harmaline-induced tremor. The anticonvulsants valproate and carbamazepine and the mood stabilizer lithium suppress harmaline-induced tremor. The γ-amino-butyric acid (GABA) receptor subtype A receptor agonist muscimol attenuate harmaline-induced tremor. Harmaline (30 mg/kg) induces tremor in mice through the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor, both competitive and non-competitive NMDA receptor antagonists, and AMPA receptor blockade, decreased harmaline-induced tremor[2].
Animal Admin Rats[1] Wistar albino rats of 160 to 190 g, fasted for 16 hr, receive various doses of Harmaline (0-70 μM/kg) either alone or 1 hr prior to subcutaneous administration of 75 mg/kg 5-hydroxytryptophan, 10 mg/kg Ro 4-1284 or 100 mg/kg iproniazid. The animals are decapitated and the 5-hydroxytryptamine of the brain (in the experiments with 5-hydroxytryptophan also of the heart) is measured spectrophotofluorometrically[1]. Mice[2] Group-housed mice are brought to the experimental room for at least 1 h to acclimate prior to testing. Following a 20 min pretreatment with vehicle or test compounds (60 min for primidone), drug-naive mice are injected with harmaline (30 mg/kg) and placed inside the Tremor Monitor chamber for a 10 min habituation period. Following the habituation period, tremor activity of the mice is measured for 8 min[2].
