Pargyline

Pargyline is an irreversible monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitor with Kis of 13 μM and 0.5 μM for MAO-A and MAO-B, respectively. Pargyline has antihypertensive and anticancer activities[1][2][3]. Pargyline is a click chemistry reagent, it contains an Alkyne group and can undergo copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAc) with molecules containing Azide groups.
