Abstract
β-Phenylethylamine (PE) is an endogenous trace amine which has been identified in human, rat and other mammalian brain tissue (Boulton and Juorio, 1982). PE is structurally related to d-amphetamine (AMPH), lacking only the AMPH α-methyl group. A functional relationship between the two has been proposed. Thus it has been suggested that PE may be a major mediator for the central actions of AMPH (Borison et al., 1975).
