Metabolite Identification
Common NameN-Methylphenylethanolamine
DescriptionN-Methylphenylethanolamine is a member of the class of phenylethanolamines, which are organic compounds characterized by a phenyl group attached to an ethanolamine structure. This compound is involved in various metabolic pathways, particularly in the context of enzymatic reactions mediated by monoamine oxidase (MAO). It has been identified as a metabolite in several studies, where it was found alongside other metabolites altered by specific interventions, such as GEF (PMID:36561332 ). Additionally, N-methylphenylethanolamine has been shown to be a substrate for both type A and type B MAO, indicating its role in the catabolism of amines (PMID:6775642 ). In experimental settings, it was observed that N-methylphenylethanolamine and its derivatives, when injected into mice, rapidly entered the brain and were metabolized by MAO to produce methylamine and corresponding aldehydes, highlighting its involvement in central nervous system processes (PMID:6435178 ). Furthermore, its partial generalization as a potential metabolite of phenethylamine suggests its relevance in broader metabolic networks (PMID:3737623 ). Overall, N-methylphenylethanolamine serves as an important compound in both biochemical and pharmacological contexts.
