-“phenethylamine” (PEA) is an “organic compound” and a natural monoamine alkaloid, a “trace amine”, and also the name of a class of chemicals with many members that are well known for their psycho-active + stimulant effects-
.
(“phenylethylamine” functions as a monoaminergic neuromodulator and, to a lesser extent, a ‘neurotransmitter’ in the human central nervous system)
(it is biosynthesized from the amino acid L-phenylalanine by “enzymatic decarboxylation” via the enzyme aromatic L-amino acid “decarboxylase”)
(in addition to its presence in mammals, “phenethylamine” is found in many other organisms and foods, such as chocolate, especially after “microbial fermentation”)
(it is sold as a dietary supplement for purported mood and weight loss-related therapeutic benefits; however, orally ingested “phenethylamine” is primarily metabolized in the small intestine by “monoamine oxidase B” (MAO-B) and then “aldehyde dehydrogenase” (ALDH), which convert it to “phenylacetic acid”)
(this prevents significant concentrations from reaching the brain when taken in low doses)
(the group of phenethylamine derivatives is referred to as the “phenethylamines”)
(“substituted phenethylamines”, “substituted amphetamines”, and “substituted methylenedioxyphenethylamines” (MDxx) are a series of broad and diverse classes of compounds derived from “phenethylamine” that include ’empathogens’, ‘stimulants’, ‘psychedelics’, ‘anxiolytics’ (“hypnotics”), and ‘entactogens’, as well as ‘anorectics’, ‘bronchodilators’, ‘decongestants’, and ‘antidepressants’,
among others)
