Bioactivity | Milacemide (hydrochloride), a glycinamide derivative, is an orally active MAO-B inhibitor with anticonvulsant activity. Milacemide (hydrochloride) reduces the levels of dihydroxyphenylacetic acid and homovanilic acid, but increases the levels of dopamine and serotonin in the caudate nucleus. Milacemide (hydrochloride) is promising for research of Alzheimer's disease[1]. |
