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.

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
