Urinary phenethylamine (PEA), an endogenous amine similar to amphetamine in both molecular structure and pharmacological properties, was studied in 12 boys with attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity. d-Amphetamine and placebo were given for 14 days each in a counterbalanced crossover design; double-blind teacher behavior ratings and motor activity measurements were also obtained. Excretion of PEA, phenylacetic acid, creatinine, and d-amphetamine were measured. PEA was significantly increased and phenylacetic acid was unchanged after d-amphetamine administration, and change in PEA excretion correlated significantly with d-amphetamine excretion. There was no significant relationship between either clinical response to drug and change in PEA or phenylacetic acid excretion.
