2-Hydroxyphenethylamine (also known as phenylethanolamine) is a kind of trace amine found in the brain. It may modulate the sympathetic functions. It has strong cardiovascular activity, and can be used as a drug to produce topical vasoconstriction. Its derivatives are adrenergic agonists and antagonists, and have the potential for the treatment of respiratory diseases.
2-(2-aminoethyl)phenol is a ortho-hydroxylated phenylethylamine present in urine of patients with affective disorder following (MAO-inhibiting) antidepressant drug treatment. It has been used in studies as a substrate of monoa mine oxidase B and was revealed to be a potential inactivator of MAO-B.
