Description

2-(4-Chlorophenyl)ethylamine (CPA) is a synthetic serotonergic amine that has inhibitory activities. It is able to bind with the 5-HT receptor, which is also known as the serotonin receptor. CPA has been shown to be an anticancer compound and can be used in experimental solubility studies. This drug binds to brain cells, but does not affect their viability. CPA hydrolyzes in the presence of hydrochloric acid or hydrogen chloride to produce 2-(4-chlorophenyl)ethanol (CPE). The reaction of CPA with serotonin produces 4-chloroamphetamine (PCA), which is a stimulant drug.
