(R)-1-Aminoindane ((R)-1-AI; developmental code name TVP-136 or TV-136), or (R)-1-aminoindan, is the major metabolite of the selective MAO-B inhibitor and antiparkinsonian agent rasagiline ((R)-N-propargyl-1-aminoindane). In contrast to rasagiline, it lacks significant monoamine oxidase inhibition. In addition, unlike selegiline and its amphetamine metabolites, it lacks monoamine reuptake-inhibiting and -releasing activities and associated amphetamine-like psychostimulant effects. However, (R)-1-aminoindane retains neuroprotective effects and certain other activities.
