Functional efficacy of the MAO-B inhibitor safinamide in murine substantia nigra pars compacta dopaminergic neurons in vitro: a comparative study with tranylcypromine

Beatrice Zarrilli, Cecilia Giacomet, Francesca Cossa…·Nicola Biagio Mercuri

This study compares the effects of safinamide and tranylcypromine on dopamine signaling in SNpc dopaminergic neurons, finding that safinamide only mildly prolongs DA-mediated firing inhibition.
