Description

Safinamide (FCE 26743, NW 1015, PNU 151774, PNU 151774E, trade name Xadago) combines potent, selective, and reversible inhibition of MAO-B with blockade of voltage-dependent Na+ and Ca2+ channels and inhibition of glutamate release. Safinamide is under development with Newron, Zambon and Meiji Seika Pharma for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. Safinamide has been launched in the EU, Iceland and Liechtenstein. Safinamide was well tolerated and safe in the clinical development program that demonstrated the amelioration of motor symptoms and OFF phenomena by safinamide when combined with dopamine agonists or levodopa.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide
Treatment with Xadago (Safinamide) should be started at 50 mg per day. This daily dose may be increased to 100 mg/day on the basis of individual clinical need.
Route of Administration: Oral
In Vitro Use Guide
Safinamide (PNU-151774E) reduces sustained repetitive firing in a use-dependent manner without modifying the first action potential in hippocampal cultured neurons. The inhibition of the currents by PNU-151774E was concentration-related from 10 to 200 μM.
