| Drug Name | Doxylamine | Selegiline | |||||||
| Mechanism 1 |
Anticholinergic effects Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor Antagonist |
Anticholinergic effects Monoamine oxidase-B selective Inhibitor |
|||||||
| Key Mechanism Factor 1 | |||||||||
| Factor Name | Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M | Structure Sequence | |||||||
| Protein Family | G-protein coupled receptor 1 family | ||||||||
| Protein Function |
The muscarinic acetylcholine receptor mediates various cellular responses, including inhibition of adenylate cyclase, breakdown of phosphoinositides and modulation of potassium channels through the action of G proteins. Primary transducing effect is Pi turnover.

| Protein Family | Flavin monoamine oxidase family | ||||||||
| Protein Function |
Catalyzes the oxidative deamination of primary and some secondary amines such as neurotransmitters, and exogenous amines including the tertiary amine, neurotoxin 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP), with concomitant reduction of oxygen to hydrogen peroxide and participates in the metabolism of neuroactive and vasoactive amines in the central nervous system and peripheral tissues (PubMed:11134050, PubMed:8665924, PubMed:8316221, PubMed:11049757, PubMed:20493079). Preferentially degrades benzylamine and phenylethylamine (PubMed:11134050, PubMed:8665924, PubMed:8316221, PubMed:11049757, PubMed:20493079).

| Key Mechanism Factor 3 | |||||||||
| Factor Name | CNS depression effects | ||||||||
| Factor Description | CNS depressants are drugs that inhibit or suppress brain activity and can reduce mental and physical processes. Excessive CNS depression can lead to decreased heart rate, slow breathing (less than 10 breaths per minute), extreme confusion or loss of memory, nausea and vomiting, poor judgment, blue lips or fingertips, irritability and aggression, and clammy or cold skin. | ||||||||

| Recommended Action | |||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Management | The use of doxylamine in combination with MAOIs or other agents that possess MAOI activity (e.g., furazolidone, linezolid, methylene blue, procarbazine) is considered contraindicated. At least 14 days should elapse between discontinuation of MAOI therapy and initiation of treatment with doxylamine. | ||||||||
