2-Aminoacetophenone hydrochloride, or 2-AAP HCl, is a white crystalline solid. Derived from the naturally occurring amino acid phenylalanine, it finds widespread use in compound production. The precise mechanism of action of 2-Aminoacetophenone hydrochloride remains partially elucidated. It is thought to exert its effects through potent inhibition of monoamine oxidase (MAO) enzymes.
