Phenelzine, deprenyl, and antioxidants (SOD, catalase, ascorbate, or rutin) reduced the loss of cell viability in differentiated PC12 cells treated with 250 muM MPP+, whereas N-acetylcysteine and dithiothreitol did not inhibit cell death. Phenelzine reduced the condensation and fragmentation of nuclei caused by MPP+ in PC12 cells. Phenelzine and deprenyl prevented the MPP+-induced decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential, cytochrome c release, formation of reactive oxygen species, and depletion of GSH in PC12 cells. Phenelzine revealed a scavenging action on hydrogen peroxide and reduced the hydrogen peroxide-induced cell death in PC12 cells, whereas deprenyl did not depress the cytotoxic effect of hydrogen peroxide. Both compounds reduced the iron and EDTA-mediated degradation of 2-deoxy-D-ribose degradation. The results suggest that phenelzine attenuates the MPP+-induced viability loss in PC12 cells by reducing the alteration of mitochondrial membrane permeability that seems to be mediated by oxidative stress.
