CAS 404-70-6: 3-Fluorophenethylamine

3-Fluorophenethylamine is a fluorinated analog of phenethylamine that binds to the same receptors and has a similar effect on neurotransmitters as the parent compound. 3-Fluorophenethylamine inhibits the production of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in vitro, which may be due to its ability to inhibit prostaglandin synthesis by binding to cyclooxygenase. This drug has also been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects that are mediated by inhibition of TNF-α production and activation of nuclear factor kappa B (NFκB) pathways in hippocampal neurons.
