What is Selegiline hydrochloride?
Description
Deprenyl (14611-52-0) is a potent inhibitor of monoamine oxidase B (MAO- B) which has been used for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease.1,2 Displays neuroprotective effects rescuing nigral dopaminergic neurons after systemic MPTP treatment.3 Rescues PC12 cells from trophic withdrawal-induced apoptosis.4 Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase has been found to be the putative target responsible for its neuroprotective effects.5

What are the applications of Application
R(?)-Deprenyl hydrochloride is a neuroprotective agent and inhibitor of MAO-B
brand name
Eldepryl (Somerset); Zelapar (Valeant).
Biological Activity
Selective inhibitor of monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B).
Clinical Use
Monoamine-oxidase-B inhibitor:
Treatment of Parkinson’s disease
Veterinary Drugs and Treatments
Selegiline is approved for use in dogs for the treatment of Cushing’s disease and for Canine Cognitive Dysfunction (so-called “old dog dementia”). Its use for Cushing’s disease is somewhat controversial as clinical studies evaluating its efficacy have shown disappointing results. In humans, selegiline’s primary indication is for the adjunctive treatment of Parkinson’s disease.
Drug interactions
Potentially hazardous interactions with other drugs
Analgesics: hyperpyrexia and CNS toxicity reported
with pethidine - avoid; avoid with opioid analgesics.
Antidepressants: avoid with citalopram and
escitalopram; increased risk of hypertension and
CNS excitation with fluvoxamine, sertraline or
venlafaxine, do not start selegiline until 1 week after
stopping them, avoid for 2 weeks after stopping
selegiline; increased risk of hypertension and CNS
excitation with paroxetine, do not start selegiline
until 2 weeks after stopping paroxetine, avoid for 2
weeks after stopping selegiline avoid concomitant
use with other MAOIs and moclobemide (can
lead to hypertensive crisis) - allow at least 14 days
before starting a MAOI; avoid concomitant use with
fluoxetine, allow 5 weeks between stopping fluoxetine
and starting selegiline; allow 14 days between
stopping selegiline and starting fluoxetine; increased
CNS toxicity with tricyclics and vortioxetine.
Oestrogens and progestogens: concentration of
selegiline increased - avoid.
Sympathomimetics: concomitant use is not
recommended; risk of hypertensive crisis with
dopamine.
Metabolism
Extensive first-pass metabolism in the liver to produce
at least 5 metabolites, including desmethylselegiline
(norselegiline), N-methylamfetamine, and amfetamine.
Plasma concentrations of selegiline metabolites are greatly
reduced after doses of the oral lyophilisate preparation,
the majority of which undergoes absorption through the
buccal mucosa.
Selegiline is excreted as metabolites mainly in the urine
and about 15% appears in the faeces.
