Introduction

Tryptamine is a monoamine alkaloid found in plants, animals and fungi. It contains an indole core and is similar in structure to tryptophan (missing a carboxyl group), hence the name. It exists in trace amounts in the mammalian brain and is thought to function as a neuromodulator and neurotransmitter. Tryptamines are a class of compounds with tryptamine as the parent structure, containing many biologically active substances, such as neurotransmitters.
