4-Fluoroselegiline or p-fluoro-L-deprenyl is a substituted amphetamine designer drug. It is the 4-fluorinated derivate of selegiline.

Pharmacology

Pharmacodynamics

4-Fluoroselegiline is a selective and irreversible inhibitor of monoamine oxidase B and monoaminergic activity enhancer.^[1]^[2]^[3]

A radiolabelled derivative incorporating ¹⁸F is used to study MAO-B inhibition in both in vivo and in vitro experiments.^[4]

Pharmacokinetics

4-Fluoro-deprenyl is metabolized to 4-Fluoromethamphetamine and 4-Fluoroamphetamine, both of which are active. The levels of substituted amphetamine metabolites in the brain is three times higher following 4-fluoroselegiline administration compared to an equivalent dose of selegiline.^[2]
