..... Selegiline, also known as l-deprenyl, is an irreversible and (relatively) selective MAO-B inhibitor.
The enzyme monoamine oxidase has two main forms, type A and type B. They are coded by separate genes. MAO may be inhibited with agents that act reversibly or irreversibly; and selectively or unselectively. These categories are not absolute. MAO type-A preferentially deaminates serotonin and noradrenaline, and also non-selectively dopamine. Type B metabolises dopamine, phenylethylamine (the chocolate amphetamine) and various trace amines.
Here's a review about its anti-depressant effects too done in March of this year:
