  <description>Metaraminol is an organic compound with the chemical formula C9H13NO2 and an average molecular weight of 167.21 g/mol. Metaraminol belongs to the phenylpropanes, a subclass of benzene and substituted derivatives within the organic compounds. It is identified as a benzenoid superclass member.

The compound is recorded as being found in or released from six distinct sources. These include healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and veterinary products, specifically as cardiac stimulants excluding cardiac glycosides. Other recorded sources are food, food processing and cookware, including food preservation and the treatment of hops; household cleaning and consumer products, such as bleaching agents and tobacco smoke filters; and antennas within electrical and electronic equipment. Exposure to the compound occurs via intramuscular and intravenous routes.

Regarding its biological activity, metaraminol has two recorded protein targets. It acts as an agonist of the Alpha-1A adrenergic receptor (ADRA1A) and the D(2) dopamine receptor (DRD2).</description>
