摘要: L-Deprenyl (Selegeline) is an enzyme-activated irreversible inhibitor of monoamine oxidase B (MAO B; EC 1.4.3.4). It used to treat Parkinson's disease at a dose 5 mg twice day. Since enzyme inhibition irreversible, the recovery functional activity after withdrawal from L-deprenyl requires synthesis new enzyme. We have measured 40 day half-time for brain MAO in and normal subjects L-deprenyl. This first measurement rate specific protein living human brain. currently by 50,000 patients with United States its use expected increase reports that it may be beneficial Alzheimer's disease. The slow turnover suggests current clinical excessive efficacy reduced dosing should evaluated. Such evaluation mechanistic importance as well impact on reducing side effects costs arising drug use. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.1
