Product Information

• Name: 2-Phenylethylamine HCl
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Phenylethylamine HCl is a bicyclic heterocyclic compound that has been shown to be an inhibitor of DPP-IV, which is an enzyme that degrades the incretin hormones glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP). 2-Phenylethylamine HCl has been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects in animal models of bowel disease. It also inhibits the α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, which may lead to improved memory, attention span, and response time. The drug has been shown to increase levels of dopamine in the brain and serotonin in the central nervous system. 2PEA is metabolized by cytochrome P450 enzymes in the liver, followed by excretion through urine or bile. 2PEA binds to a specific response element on DNA and increases gene expression for proteins involved in cellular physiology and receptor
