Clorgiline (INNTooltip International Nonproprietary Name), orclorgyline (BANTooltip British Approved Name), is amonoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) and investigationalantidepressant related topargyline.[1][2] Specifically, it is anirreversible andselectiveinhibitor ofmonoamine oxidase A (MAO-A).[3] Clorgiline was never marketed,[1] but it has found use inscientific research.[4]
In addition to its MAOI activity, it has been found to bind with highaffinity to theσ1 receptor (Ki = 3.2–510 nM)[5][6][7][8][9] and with very high affinity to theimidazolineI2 receptor (Ki = 40 pM).[10] Unlikeselegiline, clorgiline does not appear to be amonoaminergic activity enhancer (MAE).[11][12][13][14]
Clorgiline is also amultidrug efflux pump inhibitor.[15] Holmeset al., 2012 reverseazole fungicide resistance using clorgiline, showing promise for its use inmultiple fungicide resistance.[15]
