Metabolite Identification
Common NameN-Methylphenylethanolamine
DescriptionN-Methylphenylethanolamine, also known as (+-)-halostachine or MPEOA, 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. N-Methylphenylethanolamine exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. N-Methylphenylethanolamine has been detected, but not quantified in, a few different foods, such as anatidaes (Anatidae), chickens (Gallus gallus), and domestic pigs (Sus scrofa domestica). This could make N-methylphenylethanolamine a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. N-Methylphenylethanolamine is a secondary metabolite. Secondary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically non-essential metabolites that may serve a role as defense or signalling molecules. In some cases they are simply molecules that arise from the incomplete metabolism of other secondary metabolites. Based on a literature review a small amount of articles have been published on N-Methylphenylethanolamine.
