      Drug Name Safinamide Tetryzoline (ophthalmic)
      Mechanism Monoamine oxidase inhibitor Monoamine oxidase substrate
      Key Mechanism Factor 1
Factor Name Monoamine oxidase Structure Sequence
Protein Family Flavin monoamine oxidase family
Protein Function
Catalyzes the oxidative deamination of primary and some secondary amine such as neurotransmitters, with concomitant reduction of oxygen to hydrogen peroxide and has important functions in the metabolism of neuroactive and vasoactive amines in the central nervous system and peripheral tissues (PubMed:20493079, PubMed:8316221, PubMed:18391214, PubMed:24169519). Preferentially oxidizes serotonin (PubMed:20493079, PubMed:24169519). Also catalyzes the oxidative deamination of kynuramine to 3-(2-aminophenyl)-3-oxopropanal that can spontaneously condense to 4-hydroxyquinoline (By similarity).

      Mechanism Description
  • Decreased metabolism of Tetryzoline (ophthalmic) caused by Safinamide mediated inhibition of non-CYP450 enzyme

Recommended Action
      Management Caution and more frequent blood pressure monitoring may be advisable when oral and/or topical sympathomimetic agents are coadministered with MAOIs including safinamide.
