Biological Activity

[Description]:

Kynuramine, an endogenously occurring amine, is a fluorescent substrate and probe of plasma amine oxidase[1][2].

Signaling Pathways >> Neuronal Signaling >> Monoamine Oxidase

Research Areas >> Metabolic Disease

[In Vitro]

Kynuramine inhibits both presynaptic and postsynaptic α-adrenoceptors in vitro[2]. Kynuramine has been shown to act as a partial agonist on serotonin receptors in dog cerebral arteries[2]. Kynuramine (20 μg/mL) frequently causes a small contraction of the ileum but failed to alter the twitch response to cholinergic stimulation[2].

[In Vivo]

Kynuramine may serve a physiological role in the modulation of female sexual behavior[3]. Kynuramine increases heart rate and blood pressure in pithed rats[4]. Animal Model: Female rats[3]. Dosage: 0.064-8 μg. Administration: Intraventricular administration. Result: Produced facilitation of lordosis behavior.
