Dimethylaminoethanol and dimethylethanolamine (DMAE and DMEA respectively), with deanol, are common names for 2-(dimethylamino)ethanol.

Chemical structure and properties

Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. This compound has tertiary amine and primary alcohol groups as functional groups.. The alcohol functionality, in combination with the amine and its low molecular weight imparts water solubility on the compound, and makes ester derivatives possible; the amine functionality gives the compound its alkaline character, and allows for formulation of salts of the compound.

Uses

Characteristics arising from its chemical features as well as from its overall structural similarity to chemical compounds involved in primary metabolism and neurophysiology

Biochemical roles

"Deanol is a chemical that is involved in a series of reactions that form acetylcholine, a chemical that is found in the brain and other areas of the body. Acetylcholine is a “neurotransmitter” that helps nerve cells communicate.

Deanol is used for treating attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Alzheimer’s disease, autism, and a movement disorder called tardive dyskinesia. It is also used for improving memory and mood; boosting thinking skills and intelligence; and increasing physical energy, oxygen efficiency, athletic performance, and muscle reflexes. It is also used for preventing aging or liver spots, improving red blood cell function, and extending life span.

Deanol is applied to the skin for reducing signs of aging, particularly loose or sagging skin.

Deanol was previously sold by Riker Laboratories as the prescription drug Deaner. It was prescribed for the management of children with behavior problems and learning difficulties. Deanol is not an approved food additive in the U.S., nor is it an orphan drug, as some advertising suggests.

[2][3] Dimethylaminoethanol serves as a precursor of choline in the liver.[citation needed] In the brain, DMAE is incorporated into phospholipids, as phosphatidyldimethylethanolamine (PDME), which can then be converted, via N-methylation, to phosphatidylcholine.[citation needed] As a component of nerve membranes, PDME may increase fluidity and permeability, and acting as an antioxidant.[citation needed]

Industrial uses

Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. Industrial uses include as a bulk chemical in water purification, as a fine chemical precursor in pharmaceutical and other organic syntheses, and as an additive in a variety of applications, including with resins and coatings.[citation needed] There is expanding interest in use of DMAE as a nutraceutical, and it is has been tested as a possible therapeutic agent related to a variety of cholinergic functions.[citation needed]

DMEA is used in bulk quantities for water treatment, in the coatings industry, and as a curing agent for polyurethanes and epoxy resins.[citation needed] It is also used in the chemical synthesis of dyestuffs, pharmaceuticals, emulsifiers, textile auxiliaries,[citation needed] as an additive to paint removers and amino resins,[citation needed] and as an additive to boiler water to provide corrosion resistance.[citation needed] For instance, 2-dimethylaminoethyl chloride hydrochloride is synthesized from dimethylaminoethanol, and serves as an intermediate that is widely used for the manufacture of pharmaceuticals.[4][full citation needed]

DMEA forms a number of salts with melting points below room temperature ionic liquids, (e.g. N,N-dimethylethanolammonium acetate and N,N-dimethylethanolammonium octanoate), which can be used in applications where alternatives to conventional solvents are required.[5]

Neutraceutical uses

The bitartrate salt of DMAE, i.e. 2-dimethylaminoethanol (+)-bitartrate, is sold as a dietary supplement.[6] It is a white powder providing 37% DMAE.[7]
