Ethanolamine
Ethanolamine, also called 2-aminoethanol or monoethanolamine, is an organic chemical compound that is both a primary amine and a primary alcohol. Like other amines, monoethanolamine acts as a weak base. Ethanolamine is a toxic, flammable, corrosive, colorless, viscous liquid with an odor similar to that of ammonia. Ethanolamine is commonly called monoethanolamine or MEA in order to be distinguished from diethanolamine and triethanolamine. Ethanolamine is the second-most-abundant head group for phospholipids, substances found in biological membranes, and is also used in messenger molecules such as palmitoylethanolamide which has an effect on CB1 receptors. The term ethanolamines is a group of amino alcohols. A class of antihistamines is identified as ethanolamines which includes carbinoxamine, clemastine, dimenhydrinate, diphenhydramine, and doxylamine.
