Description

Clorgyline hydrochloride is a monoamine neurotransmitter inhibitor that blocks the enzyme monoamine oxidase (MAO). It is used to treat Parkinson's disease and depression. Clorgyline hydrochloride also has been shown to decrease locomotor activity in rats and cause neuronal death in the hippocampal formation. This drug has been shown to inhibit the enzyme activities of MAO-A, MAO-B and tyrosine hydroxylase at chronic doses. In addition, clorgyline hydrochloride increases the number of 5-HT2 receptors on rat brain membranes. The inhibition of MAO-A by clorgyline hydrochloride results in irreversible inhibition of all three types of MAO enzymes. Clorgyline hydrochloride also inhibits protein synthesis by decreasing levels of tyrosine hydroxylase, an enzyme that is necessary for the production of dopamine and norepinephrine.
