There is plenty of information available at:

http://selegiline.com/

The anti-aging effects of selegeline have been demonstrated in a few animal species. Selegeline exerts dopaminergic neuroprotection in the aging brain. It increases the activity of several antioxidant systems.

An article on its effects in aging, and the proposed mechanisms.

http://biopsychiatry.com/ratdep.htm

Selegeline also has positive effects on the immune system, modulating cytokine biosynthesis.

I've also read other articles showing its ability to extend the sexual lifespan of several animals. I will try and locate these studies.

The first link also suggests that immune system & anti-cancer properties may also be relavant to anti-aging effects.

Although longevity studies in humans are lacking, there are many persons who are not waiting for positive data. The Life Extension Foundation supports the use of selegeline to counteract aging in general.
