Some background:

"Safinamide is a reversible and selective monoamine oxidase B inhibitor, reducing degradation of dopamine, and a glutamate release inhibitor. ... It also seems to inhibit dopamine reuptake. ... Additionally, safinamide blocks sodium and calcium channels."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safinamide

Many of us have taken rasagiline and selegiline which are also selective MAO-B inhibitors.
