A longevity study with enhancer substances (selegiline, BPAP) detected an unknown tumor-manifestation-suppressing regulation in rat brain

First proof to show that (−)-deprenyl/selegiline (DEP), the first selective inhibitor of MAO-B, later identified as the first β-phenylethylamine (PEA)-derived synthetic catecholaminergic activity enhancer (CAE) substance and (2R)-1-(1-benzofuran-2-yl)-N-propylpentane-2-amine (BPAP), the tryptamine-d...

Description
Summary:First proof to show that (−)-deprenyl/selegiline (DEP), the first selective inhibitor of MAO-B, later identified as the first β-phenylethylamine (PEA)-derived synthetic catecholaminergic activity enhancer (CAE) substance and (2R)-1-(1-benzofuran-2-yl)-N-propylpentane-2-amine (BPAP), the tryptamine-derived presently known most potent, selective, synthetic enhancer substance, are specific markers of unknown enhancer-sensitive brain regulations. Longevity study disclosing the operation of tumor-manifestation-suppressing (TMS) regulation in rat brain. Immonohistochemical identification of a fibromyxosarcoma in rats. Experiments with human medulloblastoma cell lines. Analysis of the mechanism of action of enhancer substances. Whereas 20/40 saline-treated rats manifested a fibromyxosarcoma, in groups of rats treated with 0.001mg/kg DEP: 15/40 rats; with 0.1mg/kg DEP: 11/40 rats (P
