Department of Pharmacology, ASTA Pharma AG, Frankfurt/Main, Federal Republic of Germany.

The pharmaco-EEG changes caused by the monoamine oxidase (MAO) B inhibitor selegiline were compared with the frequency band alterations aroused by its desmethyl metabolite after oral administration in rats. After single administration (5 mg/kg) the EEG changes caused by selegiline or desmethyl-selegiline differed significantly. Distinct decreases in delta and clear increases in theta EEG frequency bands were obvious after administration of selegiline. The single oral dose of desmethyl-selegiline (5 mg/kg) caused only trendly the same EEG changes observed after giving the mother compound. Following repeated administration on four consecutive days no significant differences in the frequency band changes could be seen after selegiline or desmethyl-selegiline. Based on present results it is likely that the mode of action of desmethyl-selegiline appears to be similar or identical with the mode of action of the parent compound, selegiline.

D005583 Fourier Analysis Analysis based on the mathematical function first formulated by Jean-Baptiste-Joseph Fourier in 1807. The function, known as the Fourier transform, describes the sinusoidal pattern of any fluctuating pattern in the physical world in terms of its amplitude and its phase. It has broad applications in biomedicine, e.g., analysis of the x-ray crystallography data pivotal in identifying the double helical nature of DNA and in analysis of other molecules, including viruses, and the modified back-projection algorithm universally used in computerized tomography imaging, etc. (From Segen, The Dictionary of Modern Medicine, 1992) Fourier Series,Fourier Transform,Analysis, Cyclic,Analysis, Fourier,Cyclic Analysis,Analyses, Cyclic,Cyclic Analyses,Series, Fourier,Transform, Fourier
