(R)-1-Aminoindane ((R)-1-AI; developmental code name TVP-136 or TV-136), or (R)-1-aminoindan, is the major metabolite of the selective MAO-B inhibitor and antiparkinsonian agent rasagiline ((R)-N-propargyl-1-aminoindane). [1] In contrast to rasagiline, it lacks significant monoamine oxidase inhibition. [2] [3] In addition, unlike selegiline and its amphetamine metabolites, it lacks monoamine reuptake-inhibiting and -releasing activities and associated amphetamine-like psychostimulant effects. [2] [3] [4] However, (R)-1-aminoindane retains neuroprotective effects and certain other activities. [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]
In contrast to rasagiline, (R)-1-aminoindane is either devoid of monoamine oxidase inhibition or shows only weak inhibition of MAO-B. [2] [3] Unlike selegiline and its levomethamphetamine and levoamphetamine metabolites, rasagiline and (R)-1-aminoindane have no amphetamine-like activity. [2] [3] [4]
In spite of the preceding however, (R)-1-aminoindane is not lacking in pharmacological activity. [2] [3] Like rasagiline, it shows neuroprotective activity in some experimental models. [2] [3] In addition, (R)-1-aminoindane has been found to enhance striatal dopaminergic neurotransmission and to improve motor function independent of MAO inhibition in animal models of Parkinson's disease. [3]
2-Aminoindane, a closely related positional isomer of 1-aminoindane, is known to inhibit the reuptake and induce the release of dopamine and norepinephrine and to produce psychostimulant-like effects in rodents, albeit with lower potency than amphetamine. [1] [5] However, rasagiline does not metabolize into this compound, and 1-aminoindane does not have the same effects. [1] [5] 1-Aminoindane has been found to inhibit the reuptake of norepinephrine 28-fold less potently than 2-aminoindane and to inhibit the reuptake of dopamine 300-fold less potently than 2-aminoindan, with IC50 values for dopamine reuptake inhibition in one study of 0.4 μM for amphetamine, 3.3 μM for 2-aminoindan, and 1 mM for 1-aminoindane. [5] [6] [7] In contrast to 2-aminoindan, which increased locomotor activity in rodents (+49%), 1-aminoindane suppressed locomotor activity (–69%). [5] On the other hand however, 1-aminoindane has been found to enhance the psychostimulant-like effects of amphetamine in rodents. [6]
(R)-1-Aminoindane is a 1-aminoindane derivative. [1] It is specifically the (R)-enantiomer of 1-aminoindane, which is a racemic mixture of (R)- and (S)-enantiomers. [8] 1-Aminoindane is structurally related to 2-aminoindan. [1] A number of derivatives of 1- and 2-aminoindane are known. [1]
2-AI selectively inhibited just NET, and for SERT and DAT it has low potency. Apart from inhibitory actions on transporter molecules, aminoindanes have been shown to cause transporter-mediated release (reverse transport) of monoamines: MDAI released 5-HT and NE, 5-IAI released 5-HT and DA, and 2-AI released NE and DA (33).
