Used primarily in research settings to study monoamine oxidase inhibition, particularly MAO-B. Helps in understanding neurochemical pathways related to neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin. Employed in experimental models of neurodegenerative diseases to evaluate the impact of enzyme inhibition on neuronal protection and oxidative stress. Also utilized in pharmacological studies to explore the role of MAO in metabolism of biogenic amines. Not used clinically but serves as a tool compound in neuroscience and biochemistry research.
