Description

Ractopamine is a beta-agonist used in livestock to increase lean muscle mass and reduce fat deposition. It works by mimicking the effects of adrenaline and noradrenaline, promoting protein synthesis and inhibiting fat storage. Ractopamine is synthesized through a series of chemical reactions starting with a precursor molecule. Studies on ractopamine focus on its potential to enhance animal productivity, improve meat quality, and reduce environmental impact. However, concerns exist about its potential health effects in humans and the environment, leading to ongoing research and debate on its use in agriculture.'

ractopamine : A diastereoisomeric mixture of approximately equal amounts of all four possible diastereoisomers of 4-(1-hydroxy-2-{[4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)butan-2-yl]amino}ethyl)phenol. A beta-adrenergic agonist, it is used (generally as the hydrochloride salt) as a feed additive for use in pigs and other livestock to promote protein deposition, resulting in leaner meat. The R,R diastereoisomer, butopamine, is responsible for most of the leanness-enhancing effects. While use of ractopamine has been banned in over 120 countries including throughout the EU, in the US it used in an estimated 80% of all beef, pork and turkey production.
