(-)-octopamine is an enantiomer of octopamine, a naturally occurring phenolamine acting as a neurotransmitter in invertebrates. Octopamine is considered to be trace amine present in mammalian tissues at very low (nanomolar) concentrations. Generally, the (-)-enantiomers of octopamine are more active than the (+)-enantiomers at adrenergic receptors. However (+)-octopamine is more potent than the (-)-octopamine as an inhibitor of semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase.
Originator
Curator's Comment: Preparation of optical isomers of octopamine was performed by Kappe and Armstrong in 1964. The natural occurrence of octopamine was first reported by Erspamer (1952) who identified it as a constituent of extracts of salivary glands of the octopus. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14919575

Sample Use Guides
The phenolamines, octopamine and synephrine were only able to couple the alpha 2A-adrenoceptor to a dose-dependent decrease in cyclic AMP production at concentrations up to 1 mM, with the synephrine isomers being more potent than the corresponding octopamine isomers. The meta-isomers of both phenolamines were more potent than the corresponding para-isomers and the (-)-enantiomers were more potent than the (+)-enantiomers. Thus, (-)-meta-synephrine [(-)-phenylephrine] was the most effective isomer tested with an observable decrease occurring between 100 nM and 1 microM.
