Characteristics of the mitochondrial and cellular uptake of MPP(+), as probed by the fluorescent mimic, 4'I-MPP(+)

The discovery that 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP(+)) selectively destroys dopaminergic neurons and causes Parkinson’s disease (PD) symptoms in mammals has strengthened the environmental hypothesis of PD. The current model for the dopaminergic toxicity of MPP(+) is centered on its uptake into dopa...
