1-methyl-2-piperidin-1-ylethylamine (CAS 34217-60-2)

1-methyl-2-piperidin-1-ylethylamine (AMP-1-EA) serves as a intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and various organic compounds. AMP-1-EA acts as a foundational component for generating other derivatives of piperidine, such as N-methylpiperidine-1-ethylacetamide (MPEA). This compound holds significant value in scientific research, particularly in the fields of drug design and synthesis. Its utilization extends to serving as an intermediary for creating multiple agrochemicals, peptides, and peptidomimetics. Additionally, alpha-Methylpiperidine-1-ethylamine exhibits diverse biochemical and physiological effects. It acts as an agonist at the mu opioid receptor, which plays a role in pain regulation, reward mechanisms, and addiction. Furthermore, it acts as an agonist at the sigma-1 receptor, involved in neuroprotection, neuroplasticity, and neurodegeneration. The compound also demonstrates the ability to modulate various neurotransmitter systems, including serotonin and dopamine.
