2′-CH3-MPTP, also known as 2′-methyl-MPTP, is a selective dopaminergic neurotoxin related to MPTP which is used in scientific research to lesion dopaminergic neurons.[1][2] It is a considerably more potent dopaminergic neurotoxin than MPTP in mice but is less potent than MPTP in primates.[3][1][4][5] MPTP and 2′-CH3-MPTP produce a Parkinson's disease-like condition in animals.[6][7]

2′-CH3-MPTP is metabolized by monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A) and B (MAO-B) and this biotransformation is required for its dopaminergic neurotoxicity.[1][8] Whereas the dopaminergic neurotoxicity of MPTP is completely prevented by the MAO-B inhibitor selegiline, complete prevention of 2′-CH3-MPTP's dopaminergic neurotoxicity requires combined treatment with both selegiline and the MAO-A inhibitor clorgyline.[8][9]

A close analogue of 2′-CH3-MPTP is 2′-NH2-MPTP, which, in contrast to 2′-CH3-MPTP and MPTP, is a serotonergic and noradrenergic neurotoxin with no effect on dopaminergic neurons.[10] Numerous other neurotoxic MPTP analogues have also been synthesized.[8]

2′-CH3-MPTP was first described in the scientific literature by 1986.[4]
