General description

4-Methoxyphenethylamine inhibits the monoamine oxidase-catalyzed deamination of both tyramine and tryptamine.

4-Methoxyphenethylamine is used as a precursor for the synthesis of other organic compounds by the alkylation reaction.

Application

4-Methoxyphenethylamine was used in the synthesis of :
  • pyrrolo[3,2-c]carbazole
  • poly(4-methoxyphenethylamine), required for the immobilization of nitrogenated bases and oligonucleotides
  • organopolyphosphazenes such as poly[bis(4-methoxy benzylamino)polyphosphazene] and poly[bis(4-methoxyphenethylamino)polyphosphazene]

This work describes the immobilization of purine and pyrimidine bases and immobilization/hybridization of synthetic oligonucleotides on graphite electrodes modified with poly(4-methoxyphenethylamine) produced in acid medium. The immobilization of adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine on these modified electrodes was efficient, producing

Cytochrome P450 (P450) 2D6 is involved in the oxidation of a large fraction ( approximately 30%) of drugs used by humans and also catalyzes the O-demethylation of the model substrates 3- and 4-methoxyphenethylamine followed by subsequent ring hydroxylation to dopamine.

Human cytochrome P450 (P450) 2D6 is an important enzyme involved in the metabolism of drugs, many of which are amines or contain other basic nitrogen atoms. Asp301 has generally been considered to be involved in electrostatic docking with the basic
