Description：Safinamide is a potent, selective, and reversible monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) inhibitor (IC50=0.098 µM) over MAO-A (IC50=580 µM). Safinamide also blocks sodium channels and modulates glutamate (Glu) release, showing a greater affinity at depolarized (IC50=8 µM) than at resting (IC50=262 µM) potentials. Safinamide has neuroprotective and neurorescuing effects and can be used for the study of parkinson disease, ischemia stroke etc.al.

In Vitro：Safinamide (1–300 µM) reduces the amplitude of the peak sodium currents in a concentration-dependent manner. When currents are stimulated to a Vtest of +10 mV from a Vh of -110 mV, the IC50 value was 262 µM. When the holding potential is depolarized to -53 mV, the inhibitory effect of safinamide with a lower IC50 value (8 µM) in rat cortical neurons[1].

In Vivo：Safinamide (intraperitoneal injection; 90 mg/kg; once daily; 14 days) treatment prior to MCAO significantly ameliorates MCAO-caused cerebral infarction volume, neurological deficit, disruption of the brain-blood barrier (BBB), and impairs expression of tight junction protein occludin and ZO-1 in mice[3].Safinamide (intraperitoneal injection; 5 mg/kg, 15 mg/kg and 30 mg/kg) dose dependently inhibits the veratridine-induced GABA release and Glu release in vivo. At the dose 30 mg/kg, Safinamide prevents the effect of veratridine both on Glu (treatment F1,8=1.31; time×treatment interaction F8,64=2.4) and GABA (treatment F1,8=4.04; time F8,64=3.76, time×treatment interaction F8,64 = 2.83) release.Safinamide causes a slight, albeit not significant, reduction of veratridine-stimulated Glu release at 0.5 mg/kg and full inhibition at 5 and 15 mg/kg in rat[3].
