A radiolabelled derivative incorporating 18F is used to study MAO-B inhibition in both in vivo and in vitro experiments.[4]
Pharmacokinetics
4-Fluoro-deprenyl is metabolized to 4-Fluoromethamphetamine and 4-Fluoroamphetamine, both of which are active. The levels of substituted amphetamine metabolites in the brain is three times higher following 4-fluoroselegiline administration compared to an equivalent dose of selegiline.[2]

Synonyms of 4-fluoroselegiline or 4-fluorodeprenyl (the racemic form) include Chinoin-175, Fludepryl, and SR-96516-A.[5]
