Request for Vendors: Is there any chance we can get PEH in future?

Phenylethylidenehydrazine (PEH), also known as 2-phenylethylhydrazone, is an inhibitor of the enzyme GABA transaminase (GABA-T).[1][2] It is a metabolite of the antidepressant phenelzine and is responsible for its elevation of GABA concentrations.[1] PEH likely plays a significant role in phenelzine's high efficacy in treating anxiety disorders.

Would be fantastic to have this compound available, it could help so many people with anxiety, specially social anxiety.
All the best

I have been working on that one for months too. The production synthesis failed to scale up. We got a test synth done fine. However, scaling the production up caused overheats and explosions in the process. Hydrazine is just a very volatile compound. It takes a lot of skill to get large synths done.
So it is on the backburner for now. I have not given up. I just set it aside for now.
