Nialamide(Niamid,Niamide,Nuredal,Surgex) is a non-selective,irreversiblemonoamine oxidase inhibitor(MAOI) of thehydrazineclass that was used as anantidepressant.[2]It was withdrawn byPfizerseveral decades ago due to the risk ofhepatotoxicity.[3][4]

Side effects include agitation and insomnia, less frequently dry mouth, dizziness, blurred vision, and hypomania, and rarelyleukopeniaand hepatitis. As with other MAOIs, ahypertensive crisiscan be triggered by co-ingestion oftyramine.It is metabolized intoisoniazid,an anti-tuberculosisagent, and so is contraindicated in patients with tuberculosis. The recommended dosage range is 75 to 200 mg per day, with maintenance doses as low as 12.5 mg every other day.[5]

The antiatherogenic activity of nialamide was used to designpyridinolcarbamate.[6]
