N,N-Dimethylphenethylamine is a substituted phenethylamine that is used as a flavoring agent. It is an alkaloid that was first isolated from the orchid Eria jarensis.[1] Its aroma is described as "sweet, fishy". It is mainly used in cereal, cheese, dairy products, fish, fruit and meat.[2] It is also being used in pre-workout and bodybuilding supplements with claims of a stimulant effect.[3]
There is also evidence suggesting that N,N-DMPEA acts as a TAAR1 agonist and 5-HT1A ligand in humans and rats, respectively. Some less conclusive research also indicated that it had interaction with MAO-B, most likely as an enzyme substrate and not an inhibitor.[4]
