Description

Application

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

Rasagiline mesylate has been used:

• to test its neuroprotective effects in retinitis pigmentosa (RP) by apoptosis regulator, Bax/Bcl-2 modulation[1]
• 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[2]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Anti-Parkinson drug; MAO B Inhibitor; anti-apoptotic; neuroprotectant

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.[3][4] It has neuroprotective effects and increases the survival of dopaminergic neurons.[5]

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.
