Abstract

N-Methylphenethylamine, a secondary amine present in vegetable foodstuffs, in concentrations up to 6.6 ppm, is an indirectly acting sympathomimetic amine; on i.v. injection the circulatory effects correspond to 1/80 to 1/100 of those of epinephrine. Following enternal application pressoric and positive chronotropic effects are observed during appr. 30 min; the no-effect level amounts to about 7 mg/kg.
