Sembragiline (also known as RO4602522, RG1577 and EVT302) is a potent, selective and reversible monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) inhibitor developed to treat AD. A PET study revealed almost complete inhibition of central MAO-B at an oral dose of 1 mg per day in AD patients; however, no cognitive benefits were detected after treatment [91].
