The potentiation of the ami akinetic effect after L-Dopa treatment by an inhibitor of monoamine oxidase (MAO) “B”, Deprenil, has been demonstrated in parkinsonian patients with or without previous L-Dopa therapy. Application of the drug has been performed orally, intravenously and intramuscularly. Excellent kinetic effects resulted when combined with Madopar. The combined treatment with L-Dopa was highly effective when applicated i.v. or i.m.Deprenil is an inhibitor of MAO-B and is characterized by less frequent side effects. These are predominantly involuntary movements and confusion, which can be eliminated by lowering the dosage of Deprenil.A daily rhythm of MAO could be demonstrated in several areas of human brains as well in a control group as in parkinsonian patients with or without L-Dopa therapy. Maximal activity of MAO occurs between noon and 6 p.m.The clinical and biochemical data are discussed regarding the off-phenomenons as Deprenil is an excellent drug for preventing these.
