2-(3-Chlorophenyl)ethylamine is an antibacterial agent that is effective against a wide range of bacteria including Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. It is used in the treatment of atypical bacterial infections, such as infections with Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Chlamydia pneumoniae, or Legionella pneumophila. 2-(3-Chlorophenyl)ethylamine has been shown to be a more efficient method of inhibiting tyrosine kinase than traditional methods. This drug binds to the enzyme's active site and inhibits its activity. 2-(3-Chlorophenyl)ethylamine also inhibits protein synthesis by blocking the transfer of amino acids from the tRNA molecule to the ribosome. This leads to bacterial cell death.
