| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Dopaminergic neurotoxin. |
| Disclaimer: | Reportedly causes a severe and irreversible Parkinsonian condition in humans and monkeys. |
| General description: | MPTP shows its effects by causing inflammation, excitotoxicity, mitochondrial apoptosis, formation of inclusion bodies, and oxidative stress that leads to dopaminergic neuronal damage in the striatum and substantia nigra. In dopaminergic neurons, MPTP blocks the mitochondrial complex I which leads to mitochondrial dysfunction. |
