• Synonyms: Mixture of alpha/beta isomeric forms
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Amino-5-chlorobenzophenone oxime is a drug that belongs to the class of hydrazides. It was originally developed as an antidepressant and it has been shown in animal experiments to have antidepressant effects. 2-Amino-5-chlorobenzophenone oxime inhibits the enzyme monoamine oxidase, which is responsible for breaking down amines such as serotonin and norepinephrine. This inhibition leads to increased levels of these neurotransmitters in the brain, which may be responsible for its antidepressant effect. 2-Amino-5-chlorobenzophenone oxime also has analgesic properties, with yields of up to 86%.
