He said that Bodkin told him that Parnate was "too toxic" to be used transdermally (whatever that means). Perhaps it's just politics... selegiline is a new drug, the other MAOIs are quite old. As Elizabeth has said before: no-one wants to do new research on old drugs. The drug companies behind Nardil and Parnate (and Marplan) probably don't have much interest in this. (If the selegiline patch is a success, we might see the release of other MAOI patches...)
