(2S)-2-[[4-[(3-fluorophenyl)methoxy]phenyl]methylamino]propanamide
Safinamide is a selective, reversible MAO-B inhibitor used for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. It modulates dopaminergic signaling pathways and additionally affects voltage-gated sodium channels, suggesting neuroprotective effects. The substance is primarily used to improve motor symptoms and has a moderate risk profile when used correctly.
