Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Deprenyl is a monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) inhibitor which increases the level of dopamine in the brain and thus acts as a monoamine agonist. It is used to slow down the progression of Parkinson's disease, making both option A and C correct. Option B is incorrect as deprenyl is not an antagonist of monoamines.
