Metabolite Identification
Common NameDimethylamine
DescriptionDimethylamine, also known as DMA or HNME2, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as dialkylamines. These are organic compounds containing a dialkylamine group, characterized by two alkyl groups bonded to the amino nitrogen. Dimethylamine exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa) molecule. Dimethylamine exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. Dimethylamine is a potentially toxic compound.
