Description

Active Ingredient

Given medicine has an active ingredient Selegiline Hydrochloride. This medication is a levorotatory acetylenic derivative of phenethylamine with the antiparkinsonian effect. It is a selective monoamine oxidase inhibitor that has the greatest affinity for type B MAO, found mainly in the brain. This drug is converted by MAO B to an active moiety that binds irreversibly at the active site of the enzyme’s cofactor FAD molecule. It prevents the oxidative deamination of catecholamines and serotonin by MAO B, and results in an increase in these neurotransmitters’ activities leading to an improved motor function. It may inhibit the reuptake of dopamine by the neuron and prolong dopamine activity.
