Applications
DescriptionThe Argentinian medicinal plant Prosopsis nigra contains this alkaloid of the simple indole type which has recently been isolated and characterized. It may be a direct precursor in the biosynthesis of the {:l-carboline bases.
DescriptionN-acetyl Tryptamine is a structural analog of melatonin (5-methoxy-N-acetyltryptamine; ) that binds the melatonin MT2 receptor (Ki = 41 nM). It acts as a melatonin receptor antagonist in frog skin and chicken retina and as a partial agonist in rabbit retina. N-acetyl Tryptamine is also a reaction product of assays for serotonin N-acetyltransferase, the penultimate enzyme in the melatonin biosynthetic pathway.
