Salsoline is a metabolite of dopamine and is highly prevalent in the urine and cerebrospinal fluid of alcoholics at the time of intoxication and for several days after. Salsoline and related compounds bind to the Type A Mono-amine Oxidase inducing neuronal cell death. At one time salsoline was thought to be a biomarker for Parkinson's disease. However, it was later shown that treatment regimes result in an increased endogenous concentration of salsoline and related compounds.

highly purified Monoamine oxidase A and B were tested with a series of isoquinolines. Stereoselective competitive inhibition of MAO-A was observed for the R enantiomer of salsoline (Ki = 77 micro-M). Salsoline did not show meaningful inhibition of MAO-B.
