Application

Rasagiline mesylate has been used:
  • to test its neuroprotective effects in retinitis pigmentosa (RP) by apoptosis regulator, Bax/Bcl-2 modulation
  • as monoamine oxidase-B inhibitor in 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) induced mouse model
  • as an anti-parkinsonian agent to test its rescue functionality in 6-hydroxydopamine-lesioned zebrafish larvae towards bradykinetic and dyskinetic-like behavior

Rasagiline mesylate may be used in MAO type B-mediated cell signaling studies.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Rasagiline mesylate is an effective therapeutic option in early stages of Parkinson′s disease. It improves the motor fluctuations in levodopa-treated patients and may be a useful adjunct to such patients. It has neuroprotective effects and increases the survival of dopaminergic neurons.
Rasagiline mesylate is an irreversible inhibitor of monoamine oxidase selective for MAO type B over type A by a factor of fourteen. It has anti-apoptotic and neuroprotectant activity and has been used as a treatment for Parkinson′s disease.

Effective treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD) involves administration of therapeutic agents with complementary mechanisms of action in order to replenish, sustain or substitute endogenous dopamine. The objective of this study was to investigate anodal co-iontophoresis of pramipexole (PRAM; dopamine agonist)

Rasagiline mesylate (TVP-1012) is a potent, selective, non-reversible MAO-B inhibitor, without the tyramine-potentiating effect and with neuroprotective activities. The benefit of rasagiline as monotherapy in patients with early Parkinson's disease (PD) has already been reported. To evaluate the safety, tolerability

Serotonin Synthesis and Metabolism

Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine) is principally found stored in three main cell types - i) serotonergic neurons in the CNS and in the intestinal myenteric plexus, ii) enterochromaffin cells in the mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract, and iii) in blood platelets. Metabolism of serotonin is carried out primarily by the outer mitochondrial membrane enzyme monoamine oxidase (MAO), which occurs as two molecular subtypes called MAO-A and MAO-B.
