2-Amino-1-phenylethanol (2-APE) is a beta-hydroxylated phenethylamine. It has been studied as a substrate for phenylethanolamine N-methyl transferase. It acts as an agonist at a number of neurotransmitter receptors, including serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine receptors. 2-Amino-1-phenylethanol is also an inhibitor of cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase enzymes, which are involved in the regulation of inflammation and immune responses. Additionally, it has been found to modulate gene expression, cell proliferation, and cell signaling pathways.
