rasagiline-13c-3 (mesylate)

Rasagiline-13C3 (mesylate) is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of rasagiline by GC- or LC-MS. Rasagiline is an inhibitor of monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B; IC50= 4.43 nM for the rat brain enzyme).1It is selective for MAO-B over MAO-A (IC50= 412 nM for the rat brain enzyme). It inhibits serum and NGF withdrawal-induced apoptosis of PC12 cells when used at concentrations ranging from 0.01 to 100 μM.2Rasagiline inhibits rat brain MAO-Bin vivo (ED50= 0.1 mg/kg).1It reduces cerebral edema in a mouse model of traumatic brain injury.2Rasagiline (0.1 mg/kg)reduces cortical and hippocampal levels of full-length and soluble amyloid precursor protein (APP)in rats and mice. It also reduces α-synuclein-induced substantia nigral neuron loss and improves motor dysfunction in a mouse model of Parkinson's disease.3Formulations containing rasagiline have been used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease.

Rasagiline 13C3 mesylate racemic is the deuterium labeled Rasagiline,which is an irreversible monoamine oxidase inhibitor.
