1-Phenylethylamine (1-PEA or α-PEA), also known as α-methylbenzylamine, is the organic compound with the formula C 6 H 5 CH(NH 2)CH 3. This primary amine is a colorless liquid is often used in chiral resolutions. Like benzylamine, it is relatively basic and forms stable ammonium salts and imines.
Benzylamine is used as a masked source of ammonia, since after N-alkylation, the benzyl group can be removed by hydrogenolysis: [10] C 6 H 5 CH 2 NH 2 + 2 RBr → C 6 H 5 CH 2 NR 2 + 2 HBr C 6 H 5 CH 2 NR 2 + H 2 → C 6 H 5 CH 3 + R 2 NH. Typically a base is employed in the first step to absorb the HBr (or related acid for other kinds of ...
N-Methylphenethylamine (NMPEA) is a naturally occurring trace amine neuromodulator in humans that is derived from the trace amine, phenethylamine (PEA). [2] [3] It has been detected in human urine (<1 μg over 24 hours) [4] and is produced by phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase with phenethylamine as a substrate, which significantly increases PEA's effects.
While in-vitro studies showed that N-benzyl derivatives of 2C-I were significantly increased in potency compared to 2C-I, the N-benzyl derivatives of the related compound DOI were inactive. [60] 25B-NBOMe is a low-potency weak partial agonist of the rat and mouse trace amine-associated receptor 1 (TAAR1) but is inactive at the human TAAR1. [61]
N-Benzyl-2C-B (25B-NB, NB-2C-B) is a recreational designer drug from the 25-NB subgroup of the substituted phenethylamine family, with psychedelic effects. It has a binding affinity (K i ) of 16 nM at the serotonin receptor 5-HT 2A and 90 nM at 5-HT 2C and reportedly has a potency in between that of 2C-B and NBOMe-2C-B .
[15] [16] However, 25B-NBOMe is a low-potency partial agonist of the rat and mouse trace amine-associated receptor 1 (TAAR1) but is inactive at the human TAAR1. [ 17 ] 25B-NBOMe has been found to increase levels of glutamate , serotonin , dopamine , and acetylcholine in the frontal cortex , striatum , and nucleus accumbens in rats. [ 18 ]
Rarely an alpha-methyl group is present making them N-benzyl amphetamines rather than N-benzyl phenethylamines, but this greatly reduces potency and activity. However in some cases where a side chain methyl group is cyclised back to the ring (e.g. in 2CBCB-NBOMe ) or links the two alpha positions (e.g. in DMBMPP ), this can improve selectivity ...
Reference ranges (reference intervals) for blood tests are sets of values used by a health professional to interpret a set of medical test results from blood samples. Reference ranges for blood tests are studied within the field of clinical chemistry (also known as "clinical biochemistry", "chemical pathology" or "pure blood chemistry"), the ...
