Harmala alkaloids all function as reversible inhibitors of monoamine oxidase A (RIMAs). This is a class of drugs which selectively and reversibly inhibits the enzyme known as monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A) and is therefore combined with ayahuasca brews, to prevent the breakdown of DMT in the digestive system by inhibiting the enzyme monoamine oxidase. Due to their reversibility and selectivity, RIMAs are safer than the older monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) and do not require that people follow a tyramine free diet. | Harmala alkaloids all function as reversible inhibitors of monoamine oxidase A ([[RIMAs]]).
