Guide Notes:	do not confuse with HYDRAZONES

Hydrazines Categories.

	Benserazide - An inhibitor of DOPA DECARBOXYLASE that does not enter the central nervous system. It is often given with LEVODOPA in the treatment of parkinsonism to prevent the conversion of levodopa to dopamine in the periphery, thereby increasing the amount that reaches the central nervous system and reducing the required dose. It has no antiparkinson actions when given alone.
	Hydrazones - Compounds of the general formula R:N.NR2, as resulting from the action of hydrazines with aldehydes or ketones. (Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed)
	Iproniazid - An irreversible inhibitor of monoamine oxidase types A and B that is used as an antidepressive agent. It has also been used as an antitubercular agent, but its use is limited by its toxicity.
	Isoniazid - Antibacterial agent used primarily as a tuberculostatic. It remains the treatment of choice for tuberculosis.
	Methylhydrazines - Hydrazines substituted by one or more methyl groups in any position.
	Phenelzine - One of the MONOAMINE OXIDASE INHIBITORS used to treat DEPRESSION; PHOBIC DISORDERS; and PANIC.
	Phenylhydrazines - Diazo derivatives of aniline, used as a reagent for sugars, ketones, and aldehydes. (Dorland, 28th ed)
	Todralazine - An antihypertensive agent with both central and peripheral action; it has some central nervous system depressant effects.
