Abstract
PRESSOR amines comprise a great variety of Î-substituted primary and secondary alkylamines the cyclic portion of which may contain one or two phenol groups. The various functional groups determine the catabolic fate of these amines which, in turn, contribute to the nature, intensity and duration of their action. Because of the role attributed to pressor amines in essential1 and in experimental2 hypertension, the mechanism of their inactivation and destruction is of pathological and pharmacological interest.
