Clorgiline (INN), or clorgyline (BAN), is a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) structurally related to pargyline which is described as an antidepressant. [1] [2] Specifically, it is an irreversible and selective inhibitor of monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A). [3] Clorgiline was never marketed, [1] but it has found use in scientific research. [4] It has been found to bind with high affinity to the σ1 receptor (Ki = 3.2 nM) [3] [5] and with very high affinity to the I2 imidazoline receptor (Ki = 40 pM). [6]
Unlike selegiline, clorgiline does not appear to be a monoaminergic activity enhancer (MAE). [7] [8] [9] [10]
Clorgiline is also a multidrug efflux pump inhibitor. [11] Holmes et al., 2012 reverse azole fungicide resistance using clorgiline, showing promise for its use in multiple fungicide resistance. [11]
