生物活性
Metanephrine is an endogenous metabolite of ephinephrine, formed by catechol-O-methyl transferase activity. It is best known as a biomarker for cancers, as levels of free metanephrine are used to diagnose pheochromocytoma. Metanephrine was previously thought to be biologically inactive, but it is a more potent agonist at Trace amine associated receptor TAAR1 than either epinephrine or norepinephrine. Trace amine associated receptors (TAARs) are recently discovered GPCRs that are activated by endogenous trace amines (tyramine, tryptamine, synephrine, octopamine, β-phenylethylamine), which are chemically similar to monoaminergic neurotransmitters (epinephrine, norepinephrine, dopamine). Trace amines and TAARs are expressed in brain and are implicated in modulation of monoaminergic neurotransmission.

不同实验动物依据体表面积的等效剂量转换表（数据来源于FDA指南）
| 小鼠 | 大鼠 | 兔 | 豚鼠 | 仓鼠 | 狗 |
| 重量 (kg) | 0.02 | 0.15 | 1.8 | 0.4 | 0.08 | 10 |
| 体表面积 (m2) | 0.007 | 0.025 | 0.15 | 0.05 | 0.02 | 0.5 |
| Km系数 | 3 | 6 | 12 | 8 | 5 | 20 |
| 动物 A (mg/kg) = 动物 B (mg/kg) × | 动物 B的Km系数 |
| 动物 A的Km系数 |
例如，依据体表面积折算法，将化合物用于小鼠的剂量20 mg/kg 换算成大鼠的剂量，需要将20 mg/kg 乘以小鼠的Km系数（3），再除以大鼠的Km系数（6），得到化合物用于大鼠的等效剂量为10 mg/kg。
