Abstract

The cactus alkaloid 3,4-dimethoxyphenethylamine and its naturally occurring Al-methylated homologs inhibited the deamination of tyramine and tryptamine by rat brain monoamine oxidase. In contrast, the β-hydroxylated derivatives of this series failed to inhibit the action of monoamine oxidase on both tyramine and tryptamine.

Crystal structure, spectroscopic, quantum chemical and Hirshfeld surface analysis of [2–(3, 4–Dimethoxy–phenyl)–ethyl]–(4–nitro–benzylidene)–amine: A combined experimental and theoretical study

3.4–dimethoxy phenethylamine has been well known and plays a crucial role in modern pharmaceutical chemistry. It is a catecholamine that's also used in schizophrenia [14–15]. It can be used in natural metabolism as a precursor to noradrenaline and epinephrine, although it has been argued that abnormal methylation that preferably appears in psychotics.
Pharmacologically active Schiff's name compound base, C₁₇H₁₈N₂O₄, was synthesized 3,4–dimethoxy phenethylamine and p–nitrobenzaldehyde. The compound was crystallized in the triclinic system, in the space group $P \bar{1}$ . Crystal lattice parameters were confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal structure is stabilized by two weak intermolecular C8—H8B•••O2 and C13—H8C•••O2 hydrogen bonds. Crystal structure offers comprehensive details on non-covalent interactions in 2DPENBA. The optimized geometrical parameters have been carried out by HF and DFT methods and compared with the experimental XRD values. The experimental FT- IR and FT – Raman vibrational frequencies are analysed and compared with theoretically predicted vibrational frequencies. The intermolecular interactions have been quantified using Hirshfeld surface analysis and quantum chemical calculations are studied extensively. The absorption and transmittance spectra were obtained for UV–visible–NIR spectroscopy analysis. The optical band gap was determined using the transmission data.
[<sup>14</sup>C]Normacromerine fate in the rat
1984, Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences
The biological fate of [¹⁴C]normacromerine, a dimethoxylated phenethylamine derivative with putative hallucinogenic properties, was evaluated in male Sprague-Dawley rats at 100 mg/kg po. Urine was the primary elimination route accounting for 50% of administered carbon-14 after 24 h. Of this urine radioactivity, normacromerine comprised 30% at 8 h decreasing to nondetectable levels at 24 h. Carbon-14 in feces represented <10% of the administered dose at 24 h, and ¹⁴CO₂ expiration was not detected. Studies of normacromerine fate in comparison with previously studied phenethylamines may enhance evaluation of hallucinogenic potential of normacromerine.
