Objective:To investigate the inhibition of rasagiline on monoamine oxidase(MAO) in mouse liver and brain tissues. Methods:After being extracted by differential centrifugation,activities of MAO-A and MAO-B in mouse liver and brain tissues were determined by UV spectrophotometry respectively. Results:Inhibition effect of rasagiline was stronger on MAO-B than on MAO-A and inhibition effect of rasagiline was stronger in the brain than in the liver. Conclusion:Rasagiline exerts selective inhibition effects on MAO-B in mouse liver and brain tissues.
