CAS 18913-84-3: Nordeprenyl

Description: Nordeprenyl, also known as desmethylselegiline, is a chemical compound that belongs to the class of monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs). It is primarily recognized for its potential neuroprotective effects and is studied for its role in the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders, particularly Parkinson's disease. Nordeprenyl functions by inhibiting the enzyme monoamine oxidase, which is responsible for the breakdown of neurotransmitters such as dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin, thereby increasing their availability in the brain. This mechanism can enhance mood and cognitive function. The compound is characterized by its relatively low toxicity and side effect profile compared to other MAOIs, making it a subject of interest in pharmacological research. Additionally, Nordeprenyl has been investigated for its potential to improve symptoms of depression and anxiety. Its chemical structure includes a phenethylamine backbone, which is common among many psychoactive substances. As with any medication, the use of Nordeprenyl should be carefully monitored due to potential interactions with other drugs and dietary restrictions related to tyramine.
