Biogenic Monoamines
Biogenic amines having only one amine moiety. Included in this group are all natural monoamines formed by the enzymatic decarboxylation of natural amino acids.
Year introduced: 1989
Phenethylamines
A group of compounds that are derivatives of beta- aminoethylbenzene which is structurally and pharmacologically related to amphetamine. (From Merck Index, 11th ed)
Year introduced: 1968
Organic Chemicals
A broad class of substances containing carbon and its derivatives. Many of these chemicals will frequently contain hydrogen with or without oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus, and other elements. They exist in either carbon chain or carbon ring form.
Year introduced: 1998
Ethylamines
Derivatives of ethylamine (the structural formula CH3CH2NH2).
Ethanolamines
AMINO ALCOHOLS containing the ETHANOLAMINE; (-NH2CH2CHOH) group and its derivatives.
Year introduced: 1973
Biogenic Amines
A group of naturally occurring amines derived by enzymatic decarboxylation of the natural amino acids. Many have powerful physiological effects (e.g., histamine, serotonin, epinephrine, tyramine). Those derived from aromatic amino acids, and also their synthetic analogs (e.g., amphetamine), are of use in pharmacology.
Year introduced: 1973(1971)
Aniline Compounds
Compounds that include the aminobenzene structure.
Amino Alcohols
Compounds possessing both a hydroxyl (-OH) and an amino group (-NH2).
Amines
A group of compounds derived from ammonia by substituting organic radicals for the hydrogens. (From Grant and Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed)
Alcohols
Alkyl compounds containing a hydroxyl group. They are classified according to relation of the carbon atom: primary alcohols, R-CH2OH; secondary alcohols, R2-CHOH; tertiary alcohols, R3-COH. (From Grant and Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed)
