Nialamide (Niamid, Niamide, Nuredal, Surgex) is a non-selective, irreversible monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) of the hydrazine class that was used as an antidepressant.[1] It was withdrawn by Pfizer several decades ago due to the risk of hepatotoxicity.[2][3]

The antiatherogenic activity of nialamide was used to design pyridinolcarbamate.[4]
