Selegiline when taken at low doses (< 10-15 mg/day) is a MAO-B inhibitor without the full MAO-A effect (and hence does not require the low tyrosine diet). MAO-B is what breaks down PEA. Selegiline itself is structurally close to PEA and is metabolized into amphetamines in the brain (though at low doses this effect shouldn't be very great).
