(2R)-N-methyl-1-phenyl-N-prop-2-ynylpropan-2-amine
Selegiline is a selective and irreversible MAO-B inhibitor that is primarily used for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. By inhibiting MAO-B, it increases the availability of dopamine in the brain and may possess neuroprotective effects. Side effects and interactions with other substances require careful application. It is also being investigated in research for its antidepressant and neuroprotective properties.

Receptor Profile
Monoaminoxidase A (MAO-A) ist ein mitochondriales Enzym, das Serotonin, Noradrenalin und Dopamin oxidativ desaminiert. Hemmung führt zu erhöhten Monoamin-Spiegeln und ist die Grundlage der MAO-Hemmer-Therapie bei Depression.
Monoaminoxidase B (MAO-B) ist ein mitochondriales Enzym, das bevorzugt Phenylethylamin, Benzylamin und Dopamin abbaut. Selektive MAO-B-Hemmer werden bei Morbus Parkinson eingesetzt.
