Selegiline, also known as L-deprenyl and sold under the brand names Eldepryl, Zelapar, and Emsam among others, is a medication which is used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease and major depressive disorder.[4][6][8][3] It has also been studied for a variety of other indications, but has not been formally approved for any other use.[20][21] The medication in the form licensed for depression has modest effectiveness for this condition that is similar to that of other antidepressants.[21][22][23] Selegiline is provided as a swallowed tablet or capsule[4][5] or an orally disintegrating tablet (ODT)[6][7] for Parkinson's disease and as a patch applied to skin for depression.[8][9]

Side effects of selegiline occurring more often than with placebo include insomnia, dry mouth, dizziness, nervousness, abnormal dreams, and application site reactions with the patch form, among others.[21][22][24][4][8] At high doses, selegiline has the potential for dangerous food and drug interactions, such as the tyramine-related "cheese reaction" or hypertensive crisis and risk of serotonin syndrome.[9][25][5] However, doses within the approved clinical range appear to have little to no risk of these interactions.[9][25][5] In addition, the ODT and transdermal patch forms of selegiline have reduced risks of such interactions compared to the conventional oral form.[7][9] Selegiline has no known misuse potential or dependence liability and is not a controlled substance.[26][27][28][29][8]

Selegiline acts as a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) and thereby increases levels of monoamine neurotransmitters in the brain.[30][11][25][5] At typical clinical doses used for Parkinson's disease, selegiline is a selective and irreversible inhibitor of monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B), increasing brain levels of dopamine.[30][11][25][5] At higher doses, it loses its specificity for MAO-B and also inhibits monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A), which increases serotonin and norepinephrine levels in the brain as well.[30][11][25][5] In addition to its MAOI activity, selegiline is a catecholaminergic activity enhancer (CAE) and enhances the impulse-mediated release of dopamine and norepinephrine in the brain.[31][32][33][34][25] This action may be mediated by TAAR1 agonism.[35][36][37] Selegiline is also a prodrug of levomethamphetamine and levoamphetamine in small amounts, which act as norepinephrine releasing agents (NRAs) and might be involved in its effects and side effects as well.[38][28][39] The levels of these metabolites are much lower with the ODT and transdermal patch forms of selegiline.[7][9] Chemically, selegiline is a substituted amphetamine,[40] a derivative of methamphetamine,[40] and the purified levorotatory enantiomer of deprenyl (the racemic form).[41][20]

Deprenyl was discovered and studied in the early 1960s.[41][20] Subsequently, selegiline was purified from deprenyl and was studied and developed itself.[41] Selegiline was first introduced for medical use in Hungary in 1977.[42] It was subsequently approved in the United Kingdom in 1982 and in the United States in 1989.[42][43] The ODT was approved in the United States in 2006 and in the European Union in 2010, while the patch was introduced in the United States in 2006.[42][20] Selegiline was the first selective MAO-B inhibitor to be discovered and marketed.[13][44][45] In addition to its medical use, there has been interest in selegiline as a potential anti-aging drug and nootropic.[46] However, effects of this sort are controversial and uncertain.[47][48][49][50] Generic versions of selegiline are available in the case of the conventional oral form but not in the case of the ODT or transdermal patch forms.[51][52]
