Abstract: This invention provides liposomic composition, containing as active ingredient (-)-N-.alpha.-dimethyl-N-(2-propynylphenylethylamine) (selegilin) and/or salt thereof. This composition contains: 0.1-40% by weight of selegilin and/or a salt thereof, 2 to 40% by weight of lipids, preferably phospholipids, 0 to 10% by weight of cholesterol, 0 to 20% by weight of an alcohol, 0 to 25% by weight of a glycol, 0 to 3% by weight of an antioxidant, 0 to 3% by weight of a preserving agent, 0 to 2% by weight of a viscosity influencing agent, 0 to 50% by weight of cyclodextrin or a cyclodextrin derivative and 30 to 90% by weight of water. This invention relates to pharmaceutical composition, containing the liposomic composition described and if desired, usual filling and diluting agents and other auxiliaries, preferably in oral, parenteral or transdermal form. This invention provides the process for the preparation of liposomic compositions containing selegilin and/or salt thereof.

Abstract: The invention relates to two phase pharmaceutical compositions comprising as active ingredient a MAO inhibitor and an uptake inhibitor together with usual pharmaceutical auxiliaries. The compositions can be used for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. As active ingredient optionally N-(1-phenyl-isopropyl)-N-methyl-propinylamine or N-(4-fluoro-phenyl)-isoprop-1-yl-N-methyl-propinylamine or their salts, optically active isomers or metabolites are used both as MAO inhibitor and as uptake inhibitor.

Abstract: An anhydrous transdermal composition is disclosed comprising in a 20 to 100% lyotropic liquid crystalline arrangement:5 to 15 weight % of optically active or racemic N-methyl-N-(1-phenyl-2-propyl)-2-propynylamine or N-methyl-N-{1-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-propyl}-2-propynylamine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof;40 to 70% by weight of liquid polyethylene glycol;10 to 20% by weight of solid polyethylene glycol;2 to 30% by weight of a nonionic surface active agent;2 to 20% by weight of propylene glycol, and if desired,0.5 to 2% by weight of a polymer, the a value of which is greater than 0.6, andoptionally, in an amount needed up to 100% an emulsifying agent.
