The neurotoxin 1‐methyl‐4‐phenyl‐1,2,3,6‐tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) was oxidized to dihydropyridine MPDP+and pyridine MPP+by preparations of monoamine oxidase B (MAO B), including pure human liver MAO B:monoclonal antibody complex.Km,appvalues for MPTP and benzylamine, a preferred MAO B substrate, were 316 and 64 μM, respectively. 4‐Phenyl‐1,2,3,6‐tetrahydropyridine (PTP), the nor derivative of MPTP, was also a substrate (Km,app= 221μM). MPDP+MPTP, and MPP+, but not PTP, were found tobe irreversible inhibitors of MAO B. Our studies support the hypothesis that MPTP is oxidized in primate brain by MAO B to MPDP+which is then converted to MPP+a major metabolite found in the substantia nigra.
