Talk:Catecholamine

message: I think it makes sense to use the INN (i.e. epinephrine) over the BAN (i.e. adrenaline).  AFAIK, this is convention at WP-- see paracetamol (acetaminophen) and pethidine (meperidine). Nephron  T|C 06:01, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: INN vs BAN

message: I was checking out the page and i see that NE has an OH at the bottom position, shouldn't it be at the upper left (3') position? I'm not 100% sure on the nomenclature but i think it goes counter clockwise (because of the doublebond)
If my nomenclature is right and since you can't change the conformation of a benzene ring and since all catecholamines should have hydroxyl groups at the 3' and 4' positions then that image should be updated
Thanks!

thread_title:  Serotonin 

message: While I am aware that Selegeline, which has an amphetamine backbone, is an MAO-B inhibitor, I'm pretty sure that unsubstituted amphetamine is only a very weak MAOI, a weak synapse flow reverser and primarily is a DAT inhibitor (like Ritalin and cocaine). Moreover, meth's MAOI action is non-existent, its DAT binding is lower, and it mainly acts to reverse flow at the synapse (which is why it's potentially neurodegenerative - dopamine free radical build up inside the vesicle).
Could somebody clarify this in the "Degradation" section?
Furthermore, I'm unaware of any action on adrenaline for MAOIs and amphetamines. I guess it's possible, since adrenaline is built from norepinephrine, but I've just never seen it mentioned in literature. I'm interested in this, because, having ADHD, I wonder if it's just my norepinephrine and dopamine levels that they (stimulants and ADHD) change, or is it adrenaline, too? People with ADHD DO show blood-sugar abnormalities, so there's some weight to the idea, and as I said, adrenaline is built from noradrenaline, so it'd make sense that a roadblock at noradrenaline also limits supply of adrenaline. Most likely scenario is that adrenaline is ignored because it's not psychoactive.

thread_title: Lower catecholamines?

message: "For example, MDMA  (Ecstasy) is a reduced product of a double condensation of dopamine  with formaldehyde, in which the two dihydroxyphenyl groups are bridged by a methyl." Dopamine does not have a N-methyl however, shouldn't it be MDA instead?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.3.244.124 (talk) 05:57, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Is this correct? 

message: The second paragraph states "Catecholamines derive from the amino acid tyrosine" and the word "derive" is tagged as . Would "metabolized" be a better word? I'm not entirely familiar with the jargon so I'm not sure if that word is accurate. --76.92.71.27 (talk) 17:21, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
