MPTP (1-Methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine) is a potent dopaminergic neurotoxin that readily penetrates the blood-brain barrier. It is primarily utilized to create animal models of Parkinson’s Disease, enabling the study of neurodegenerative processes. MPTP acts by converting into MPP+, which induces apoptosis in dopaminergic neurons, serving as a valuable tool for investigating therapeutic strategies and the underlying mechanisms of neurodegeneration.
