N-Methyl-p-tyramine Hydrochloride (CAS 13062-76-5)

N-Methyl-p-tyramine Hydrochloride is a hydrochloride salt form of N-Methyl-p-tyramine, a naturally occurring phenethylamine alkaloid that exhibits significant bioactivity primarily through its interactions with adrenergic receptors. This compound, derived from the modification of the amino acid tyrosine, serves as an important probe in neurochemical research for understanding the modulation of catecholaminergic systems. Its mechanism of action involves the indirect agonism of adrenergic receptors, leading to the release of catecholamines like dopamine and norepinephrine from their storage vesicles. This action is for researchers investigating the regulation of neurotransmitter release and the effects of sympathetic nervous system activation on a variety of physiological responses. The hydrochloride salt form enhances its solubility in aqueous solutions, facilitating its use in experimental applications where precise dosing and rapid absorption into biological systems are required. As such, N-Methyl-p-tyramine Hydrochloride is utilized in various fields of biochemical and pharmacological research, particularly in studies exploring the biochemical pathways involved in neurotransmission and the potential for targeting these pathways to modulate physiological and neurochemical outcomes.
