A cell-permeable tranylcypromine (parnate) analog that acts as a potent, irreversible inhibitor of lysine specific demethylase 1 (LSD1; IC50=70nM in a HRP-coupled assay using H3K4Me2 peptide substrate). Forms a covalent adduct with flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD). Shown to cross the blood brain barrier. Exhibits moderate selectivity over amine oxidases MAO-A and MAO-B (IC50=0.51 and 2.785uM, respectively). Displays desirable pharmacokinetic properties (brain/plasma exposure ratio of 88.9), and impairs long-term memory without affecting short-term memory in mice (10mg/kg, i.p.).
