p-Hydroxynorephedrine (PHN or 4-hydroxynorephedrine) is the para-hydroxy analog of norephedrine and an active sympathomimetic metabolite of amphetamine in humans.[1][2] When it occurs as a metabolite of amphetamine, it is produced from both p-hydroxyamphetamine and norephedrine.[2][3][4]

Notes
- ↑ 4-Hydroxyamphetamine has been shown to be metabolized into 4-hydroxynorephedrine by dopamine beta-hydroxylase (DBH) in vitro and it is presumed to be metabolized similarly in vivo.'"`UNIQ--ref-00000032-QINU`"''"`UNIQ--ref-00000033-QINU`"' Evidence from studies that measured the effect of serum DBH concentrations on 4-hydroxyamphetamine metabolism in humans suggests that a different enzyme may mediate the conversion of 4-hydroxyamphetamine to 4-hydroxynorephedrine;'"`UNIQ--ref-00000034-QINU`"''"`UNIQ--ref-00000035-QINU`"' however, other evidence from animal studies suggests that this reaction is catalyzed by DBH in synaptic vesicles within noradrenergic neurons in the brain.'"`UNIQ--ref-00000036-QINU`"''"`UNIQ--ref-00000037-QINU`"'
