Iproclozid (IPROCLOZIDE)

Phase 2 active Small molecule

Iproclozid (generic name: IPROCLOZIDE) is a Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors drug. It is currently in Phase 2 development for Depressive disorder.

Iproclozide works by blocking the enzyme that breaks down certain neurotransmitters in the brain, allowing their levels to increase and improve mood.

Iproclozide is a small molecule Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (MAOIs) drug, originally developed by an unknown entity, but currently owned by an unspecified company. It is used to treat depressive disorder, although its commercial status and patent information are unknown. As a MAOI, it works by inhibiting the enzyme monoamine oxidase, which breaks down certain neurotransmitters in the brain, thereby increasing their levels and improving mood. The exact target of iproclozide is unknown, but it is believed to affect the levels of serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine. Further information on its pharmacokinetics and safety profile is not available.

Likelihood of approval
12.3% vs 15.3% industry baseline
If approved by FDA: likely 2031–2034
Steps remaining: Phase 3 → NDA/BLA submission
Confidence: Medium
Why this estimate
  • Baseline phase 2 → approval rate +15.3pp
    Industry-wide phase 2 drugs reach approval ~15.3% of the time (BIO/Informa 2023 industry benchmark across all therapeutic areas).
  • CNS / neurology attrition -3.0pp
    CNS drugs have historically high Phase 3 failure rates (notably in Alzheimer disease + major depression).
Predicted approval windows by jurisdiction (conditional on FDA approval)
Regulator Country Likely year Lag vs FDA
FDA US 2031–2034
EMA EU 2032–2035 +0.7 yr
MHRA GB 2032–2035 +0.7 yr
Health Canada CA 2032–2036 +0.9 yr
TGA AU 2032–2036 +1.2 yr
PMDA JP 2032–2036 +1.5 yr
NMPA CN 2033–2037 +2.3 yr

CDSCO IN 2032–2037 +1.8 yr
ANVISA BR 2033–2037 +2.3 yr

Hover any row for the lag rationale. Lag estimates are reduced when the drug has FDA Breakthrough or EMA PRIME designation (sponsors file globally in parallel).

Mechanism of action

Imagine your brain is a city with many roads (neurotransmitters) that help you feel happy or sad. Iproclozide is like a traffic cop that stops the garbage trucks (monoamine oxidase) from breaking down the roads, so more people (neurotransmitters) can use them, making you feel better.
