Milacemide, a prodrug for glycine, is an inhibitor of the B form of monoamine oxidase. This drug could enhance dopaminergic activity in the brain and could be used as therapy for Parkinson's disease. Milacemide participated in clinical trials as a treatment for senile dementia of the Alzheimer type (SDAT). However, results have shown the drug was not an effective treatment in enhancing cognition in SDAT patients. In addition, milacemide has been tested for antiepileptic efficacy; however, this study was discontinued.
