Parkinsonism-inducing neurotoxin, N-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6 -tetrahydropyridine: uptake of the metabolite N-methyl-4-phenylpyridine by dopamine neurons explains selective toxicity.

N-Methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) produces neuropathological and clinical abnormalities in humans, monkeys, and mice that closely resemble idiopathic parkinsonism. N-Methyl-4-phenylpyridine (MPP+), a metabolite of MPTP formed by monoamine oxidase B, is accumulated into striatal and...
