Oenethyl, also known as 2-methylaminoheptane and sold under the brand names Pacamine and Neosupranol, is a sympathomimetic and vasopressor medication of the alkylamine which is no longer marketed. It was used as a nasal decongestant and to control blood pressure during anesthesia. It is closely structurally related to other alkylamines, for instance methylhexanamine and tuaminoheptane, among others. These compounds are known to act as structurally simple monoamine releasing agents and to produce psychostimulant-like effects.
