Milacemide

Milacemide (INN)^[2] is an MAO-B inhibitor and glycine prodrug.^[3] It has been studied for its effects on human memory and as a potential treatment for the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease.^[4] Early clinical trials did not show positive results however,^[3] and the drug is now abandoned and it is sold as a nonprescription drug or supplement. While milacemide is not an amino-acid, it acts similarly to glycine in the brain.^[5]
