D-Deprenyl, also known as or dextro-N-propargyl-N-methylamphetamine, is an MAO-B inhibitor, as well as prodrug to d-amphetamine and d-methamphetamine, and therefore a norepinephrine-dopamine releasing agent. It is the opposite enantiomer of l-deprenyl.

L-Deprenyl, also an MAO-B inhibitor, metabolizes to l-amphetamine and l-methamphetamine, which are selective norepinephrine releasing agents. In contrast, d-deprenyl additionally has dopaminergic effects and has been found to be reinforcing in scientific research, whereas l-deprenyl is the opposite.[1]
