Application

  • Tyramine is extensively used in the preparation of a variety of hydrogels for biomedical applications.
  • It is used as a key precursor in the total synthesis of (−)-mesembrine and (−)-galanthamine.
  • It can also be used in the preparation of tyramine-functionalized graphene quantum dots (GQDs) as fluorescence reporters for optical sensing of metabolites.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Can enter catecholaminergic terminals and be released as a false transmitter.
