Metabolite Identification
Common Name2-Hydroxyphenethylamine
Description2-Hydroxyphenethylamine, also known as beta-phenethanolamine or 2-amino-1-phenylethanol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as aralkylamines. These are alkylamines in which the alkyl group is substituted at one carbon atom by an aromatic hydrocarbyl group. It is the simplest member of the class of phenylethanolamines that is 2-aminoethanol bearing a phenyl substituent at the 1-position. 2-Hydroxyphenethylamine exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. 2-Hydroxyphenethylamine ia an amine found in the brain. It may be modulator of sympathetic functions. Its derivatives are adrenergic agonists and antagonists.
