Presence of Metanephrine and Normetanephrine in Normal Human Urine [PDF]
Nature, 1960 IN 1957, Axelrod reported that epinephrine and norepinephrine were O-methylated at the C-3 position, giving metanephrine (3-O-methylepinephrine) and normetanephrine (3-O-methylnorepinephrine), respectively, in the rat1 ; in addition, he found that these compounds were normally excreted in rat urine2.
