| 1 | The conversion of MPTP to its corresponding pyridinium-ion derivative through the action of MAO-B is known to be essential for its neurotoxicity. | pyridine | monoamine oxidase B | Homo sapiens |
| 2 | Studies of the changes in absorbance spectra during the MAO-B catalysed oxidation were consistent with the formation of the corresponding pyridinium-ion derivative (MPP+), which is known to be the effective neurotoxin, as the end-product when MPTP was oxidized. | pyridine | monoamine oxidase B | Homo sapiens |
