The neuronal survival properties of rasagiline (R(+)-N-propargyl-1-aminoindane mesylate or TVP-1012), a novel monoamine oxidase B inhibitor, have been investigated using neuronal cell cultures from fetal rat and human ventral mesencephalon. The ability of rasagiline to reduce the rate of neuronal cell loss in vitro was tested using primary neuronal cell lines and immunohistochemistry to quantify the reduction in cell death. Direct comparison was made with deprenyl, a widely used and long established monoamine oxidase B inhibitor. Rasagiline was shown to act 15-20% more effectively as a neuronal survival agent than deprenyl, increasing both the survival of the total number of neurones and selectively increasing the survival of dopaminergic neurones with no statistically significant increase in survival of GABAergic neurones.
