MAOI stands for monoamine oxidase inhibitor. MAO-A is a type of monoamine oxidase. Some MAOIs inhibit both MAO-A and MAO-B. Moclobemide only inhibits the former. MAO-A catalyzes the oxidative deamination of monoamines such as serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine. Deamination is the removal of an amine group from a molecule. An amine group consists of nitrogen (and associated hydrogen atoms) attached to a carbon chain.
