TY - JOUR PY - 2000// TI - Neuroprotective aspects of a novel MAO-B inhibitor PF9601N JO - Neurobiology (Budapest, Hungary) A1 - Perez, V. A1 - Morón, J. A1 - Pastó, M. A1 - Unzeta, M. SP - 231 EP - 236 VL - 8 IS - 3-4 N2 - PF9601N is an acetylenic tryptamine derivative devoid of amphetamine-like properties, that behaves as suicide MAO-B inhibitor more potent than l-deprenyl. It is highly selective towards MAO-B and it neuroprotects from the neurotoxicity induced in C57Bl/6 adult mice by 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP). PF9601N also shows in vitro antioxidant properties by inhibiting the dopamine autoxidation. A potential therapeutic use in Parkinson's disease treatment is proposed for this compound.
