After pretreatment with the selective monoamine oxidase B inhibitor, (-)-deprenyl, in doses sufficient for complete inhibition of the platelet enzyme, 4 normal and 6 parkinsonian volunteers (2 receiving L-dopa and 2 L-dopa plus carbidopa) suffered no adverse pressor reaction (cheese effect) after challenge with oral tyramine in amounts considerably greater than those likely to be encountered in a normal diet. Nor did the L-dopa-deprenyl combination itself result in a pressor response. Normal human intestinal mucosa apparently predominantly contained deprenyl-insensitive A form of the enzyme, which presumably degraded administered tyramine in the deprenyl-treated volunteers; even those receiving the drug for prolonged periods manifested no cheese effect, suggesting that the A form remained uninhibited. Intestinal monoamine oxidase A oxidized dopamine, whereas in human platelet or striatum the amine was a monoamine oxidase B substrate. Like tyramine, oral phenylethylamine challenge with amounts greater than those known to be present in a normal diet similarly gave rise to no adverse reaction in (-)-deprenyl-treated subjects; the reasons for this remain to be determined.
