Selegiline (SEL) is a selective, irreversible inhibitor of MAO-B, used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease, either alone or as an adjunct to L-DOPA. Selegiline hydrochloride (HCl) undergoes significant first-pass metabolism following oral administration. Transdermal delivery avoids the first-pas

## Abstract Selegiline is beneficial to Parkinsonian patients as an adjunct to levodopa therapy. A sensitive fluorimetric assay based on ibhibition of rat brain monoamine oxidase‐B (MAO‐B) __in vitro__ has been developed to study the pharmacokinetics of selegiline. This method quantitates selegilin
Selegiline is beneficial to Parkinsonian patients as an adjunct to levodopa therapy. Currently no pharmacokinetic data are available for selegiline in the literature, mainly due to lack of analytical methods that can measure concentrations below 10 ng mL-' in plasma. A sensitive fluorimetric assay b
Selegiline is a selective, irreversible inhibitor of MAO-B, used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease, either alone or as an adjunct to L-DOPA. The sole recommended dosing regimen is 5 mg given in the morning and at noon with breakfast and lunch. A pulsatile oral dosage form was developed to mimi
The metabolism of encainide occurs in the liver and is polymorphically distributed according to the same genetic factor that determines the 4-hydroxylation of debrisoquine. Over 90% of patients are extensive metabolizers (EM) in whom the oral bioavailability of encainide is only 30% because of exten
