Kynuramine is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C9H12N2O. It is the prototypical member of the class of biogenic amines known collectively as kynuramines.[1] Kynuramine is produced by the decarboxylation of kynurenine[1] and is a metabolite of tryptophan.[2]

Kynuramine is an α-adrenoceptor inhibitor.[3]

In biochemistry, kynuramine has been used as a substrate in assays used to measure amine oxidase activity.[4][5]
