2-Phenylethylamine is a natural alkaloid. It functions as a neuromodulator and a neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. It is found in several different strains of fungi and bacteria, such as Lactobacillus and Pseudomonas. 2-Phenylethylamine also possesses anti-microbial effects against strains of E. Coli. 2-Phenylethylamine is a substrate of B monoamine oxidase, and derivatives of 2-Phenylethylamine are metabolites in other parts of the central nervous system. Increased levels of 2-Phenylethylamine are found following aerobic exercise. 2-Phenylethylamine is studied to determine the various roles it plays in the central nervous system and other tissues. As a reagent, it has been used in the construction of anti-depressants, inhibitors of leukotrienes and adenosine derivatives.
