a

Approx 50% loss of DA neurons in SNpc.

b

Approx 30% loss of DA neurons SN pc.

c

No loss of DA neurons in SN pc. Reduced level of striata DA.

d

For KE3, a dose response effect was observed.

e

For KE 1 and 2 the severity of the effect was normalised vs. the KE4.

f

After single dose MPTP administration, brain concentration was approx. 5.15 μM.
