4-Amino-2-phenylpyrimidine is an analog of the amino acid phenylalanine. It is orally active and has been shown to have a protective effect against lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced lung inflammation in mice. 4-Amino-2-phenylpyrimidine also has antiinflammatory properties, which may be due to its inhibition of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) production by mouse splenocytes. This compound has been shown to inhibit the pancreatic enzyme, α-amylase, as well as reduce blood glucose levels in diabetic mice. 4-Amino-2-phenylpyrimidine may also act as an antidiabetic agent by inhibiting insulin release and reducing pancreatic β cell mass.
