4-Fluoroselegiline or p-fluoro-L-deprenyl is a substituted amphetamine designer drug. It is the 4-fluorinated derivate of selegiline.
Pharmacology
Pharmacodynamics
4-Fluoroselegiline is a selective and irreversible inhibitor of monoamine oxidase B and monoaminergic activity enhancer.[1] [2] [3]
A radiolabelled derivative incorporating 18F is used to study MAO-B inhibition in both in vivo and in vitro experiments.[4]
Pharmacokinetics
p-Fluoro-L-deprenyl is metabolized to p-fluoro-L-methamphetamine and p-fluoro-L-amphetamine, both of which are active. The levels of substituted amphetamine metabolites in the brain is three times higher following 4-fluoroselegiline administration compared to an equivalent dose of selegiline.[2]
