In appearance, NMPEA is a colorless liquid. NMPEA is a ], with pK<sub>a</sub> = 10.14; pK<sub>b</sub> = 3.86 (calculated from data given as K<sub>b</sub><ref name = Car>W.H. Carothers, C. F. Bickford and G. J. Hurwitz (1927) ''J. Am. Chem. Soc.'' '''49''' 2908–2914.</ref>). It forms a hydrochloride salt, m.p.&nbsp;162–164&nbsp;°C.<ref>C. Z. Ding et al. (1993) ''J. Med. Chem.'' '''36''' 1711–1715.</ref>


Although NMPEA is available commercially, it may be synthesized by various methods. An early synthesis reported by Carothers and co-workers involved conversion of phenethylamine to its ''p''-toluenesulfonamide, followed by ''N''-methylation using ], then hydrolysis of the sulfonamide.<ref name = Car/> A more recent method, similar in principle, and used for making NMPEA radio-labeled with <sup>14</sup>C in the N-methyl group, started with the conversion of phenethylamine to its trifluoroacetamide. This was N-methylated (in this particular case using <sup>14</sup>C – labeled methyl iodide), and then the amide hydrolyzed.<ref>I. Osamu (1983) ''Eur. J. Nucl. Med.'' '''8''' 385–388.</ref>

Synthetic and metabolic pathways for endogenous and exogenously administered trace amines and sympathomimetic amines&nbsp;...<br /> Trace amines are metabolized in the mammalian body via monoamine oxidase (MAO; EC 1.4.3.4) (Berry, 2004) (Fig. 2)&nbsp;... It deaminates primary and secondary amines that are free in the neuronal cytoplasm but not those bound in storage vesicles of the sympathetic neurone&nbsp;...<br />Thus, MAO inhibitors potentiate the peripheral effects of indirectly acting sympathomimetic amines&nbsp;... this potentiation occurs irrespective of whether the amine is a substrate for MAO. An α-methyl group on the side chain, as in amphetamine and ephedrine, renders the amine immune to deamination so that they are not metabolized in the gut. Similarly, β-PEA would not be deaminated in the gut as it is a selective substrate for MAO-B which is not found in the gut&nbsp;...<br /> Brain levels of endogenous trace amines are several hundred-fold below those for the classical neurotransmitters noradrenaline, dopamine and serotonin but their rates of synthesis are equivalent to those of noradrenaline and dopamine and they have a very rapid turnover rate (Berry, 2004).
