How to use

In Vitro:

Pargyline (0.5-2 mM; 24-120 hours; LNCaP-LN3 cells) treatment inhibits the proliferation of prostate cancer cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Pargyline (0.5-2 mM; 24-48 hours; LNCaP-LN3 cells) treatment decreases S phase and increases the G1 phase in the cells in a dose-dependent manner. Pargyline (0.5 mM; 24 hours; LNCaP-LN3 cells) treatment increases the apoptotic cells. Pargyline (2 mM; 48 hours; LNCaP-LN3 cells) treatment induces an increase of cytochrome c and a decrease of caspase-3 in the cells, but does not lead to a change of BCL-2 expression.

In Vivo:

Pargyline (10 mg/kg; iv) treatment induces a moderate (about 20 mm Hg) but persistent (48 h) decrease of systolic blood pressure in unanesthetized adult spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) but not in normotensive rats. A low dose of Pargyline (200 μg; icv) injected directly into the brain lowered arterial pressure. The hypotensive action of Pargylline in SHR appears to be the consequence of Norepinephrine accumulating at an inhibitory α-adrenoceptor in brain.
