2-Pyrrolylethylamine (NEA, 2-NEA, or 2-(2-pyrrolyl)ethylamine) is a chemical compound of the arylalkylamine family. [1]
It is related to other arylalkylamines as well as trace amines including tryptamine (2-indolylethylamine), phenethylamine (2-phenylethylamine), 2-furylethylamine, thiopropamine (1-(2-thienyl)-2-aminopropane), and isocyclamine (cyclopentanylaminopropane), among others. [1] Many of these compounds are monoamine releasing agents and/or reuptake inhibitors. [1]
NEA is known to be pharmacologically active itself, for instance having histamine-like activity on the isolated guinea pig ileum and having effects on gastric acid secretion in dogs. [1]
The compound was first described in the scientific literature by 1949. [1]
