N‐methyl,N‐propargyl‐2‐phenylethylamine (MPPE), an analog of deprenyl, increases neuronal cell survival in thiamin deficiency encephalopathy
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Wernicke encephalopathy (WE) is a neurological disorder attributable to thiamin deficiency (TD). Severe TD, in humans and animals, results in highly selective lesions with a symmetrical distribution in brain regions including the mammillary bodies, thalamus, inferior colliculi, periaqueductal and periventricular regions, and inferior olivary nuclei. Experimental TD in the rat provides a robust and reproducible model that allows investigations of mechanisms underlying both apoptotic and necrotic neuronal death. (‐)‐Deprenyl (DEP), a selective monoamine oxidase B (MAO‐B) inhibitor, has been reported to be clinically effective in the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders and to have neuroprotective and/or neurorescue properties in a variety of ex vivo and in vitro paradigms, including experimental TD. Because the metabolites of DEP, amphetamine, and methamphetamine may have adverse behavioral effects, a DEP analog, N‐methyl,N‐propargyl‐2‐phenylethylamine (MPPE) that is not metabolized to amphetamine or methamphetamine was examined in the present studies. Results showed that TD rats treated with MPPE had significantly increased neuronal cell counts compared to vehicle‐treated TD rats. MPPE, like DEP, also significantly decreased the density of reactive astrocytes and the infiltration of microglia/macrophages. Chronic treatment with DEP or MPPE resulted in significant inhibition of MAO‐A and MAO‐B activity compared to VEH‐treated animals. Thus, MPPE, an inhibitor of MAO activity, was shown to be neuroprotective in the TD model of neuronal cell death. Drug Dev. Res. 51:244–252, 2000. © 2001 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
