> What is Befloxatone?
Befloxatone is an MAO inhibitor. It is superficially similar to moclobemide in that it is both reversible and selective for the MAO-A enzyme (thus RIMA - Reversible Inhibitor of Mao-A). It is the MAO-A enzyme that is probably most involved in the majority of cases that are successfully treated with MAOIs.I had heard about a year ago that befloxatone was indeed being considered by the drug company for market in the U.S. I would be interested in trying this drug myself. Thanks for bringing it up. If you guys find out anything, please post.
Thanks a lot.
Sincerely,
Scott
