Abstract
Rasagiline mesylate (N‐propargyl‐1 (R)‐aminoindan) (RG) is a selective, potent irreversible inhibitor of monoamine oxidase‐B with cardioprotective and anti‐apoptotic properties. We investigated whether it could be cardioprotective in a rat model undergoing experimental myocardial infarction (MI) by permanent ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery.
