Tyramine
Tyramine
(
4-hydroxyphenethylamine
;
para-tyramine
,
mydrial
or
uteramin
) is a
naturally occurring
monoamine
compound
and
trace amine
derived from the
amino acid
tyrosine
. Tyramine acts as a
catecholamine
releasing agent
. Notably, it is unable to cross the
blood-brain barrier
, resulting in only non-psychoactive
peripheral
sympathomimetic
effects. A
hypertensive crisis
can result, however, from ingestion of tyramine-rich foods in conjunction with
monoamine oxidase inhibitors
(MAOIs).
