Metabolite of the amino acid tryptophan
Pharmaceutical compound
Tryptamine , also known as2-(3-indolyl)ethylamine , is anindolamine metabolite of theessential amino acid tryptophan .[ 9] [ 10] The chemical structure is defined by anindole —a fusedbenzene andpyrrole ring, and a 2-aminoethyl group at the second carbon (third aromatic atom, with the first one being theheterocyclic nitrogen).[ 9] The structure of tryptamine is a shared feature of certain aminergicneuromodulators includingmelatonin ,serotonin ,bufotenin and psychedelic derivatives such asdimethyltryptamine (DMT),psilocybin ,psilocin andothers .[ 11] [ 12] [ 13]
Tryptamine has been shown to activateserotonin receptors [ 5] [ 14] andtrace amine-associated receptors expressed in the mammalian brain, and regulates the activity ofdopaminergic ,serotonergic andglutamatergic systems.[ 15] [ 16] In the human gut, bacteria convert dietary tryptophan to tryptamine, which activates5-HT4 receptors and regulates gastrointestinal motility.[ 10] [ 17] [ 18]
Multiple tryptamine-derived drugs have been developed to treatmigraines , while trace amine-associated receptors are being explored as a potential treatment target for neuropsychiatric disorders.[ 19] [ 20] [ 21]
Natural occurrences [ edit ] For a list of plants, fungi and animals containing tryptamines, seeList of psychoactive plants andList of naturally occurring tryptamines .
Endogenous levels of tryptamine in the mammalian brain are less than 100 ng per gram of tissue.[ 12] [ 16] However, elevated levels of trace amines have been observed in patients with certain neuropsychiatric disorders taking medications, such asbipolar depression andschizophrenia .[ 22]
Mammalian gut microbiome [ edit ] Tryptamine is relatively abundant in thegut and feces of humans and rodents.[ 10] [ 17] Commensal bacteria, includingRuminococcus gnavus andClostridium sporogenes in thegastrointestinal tract , possess theenzyme tryptophandecarboxylase , which aids in the conversion of dietary tryptophan to tryptamine.[ 10] Tryptamine is aligand for gut epithelial serotonin type 4 (5-HT4 ) receptors and regulates gastrointestinalelectrolyte balance through colonic secretions.[ 17]
To yield tryptaminein vivo , tryptophan decarboxylase removes the carboxylic acid group on the α-carbon oftryptophan .[ 12] Synthetic modifications to tryptamine can produceserotonin andmelatonin ; however, these pathways do not occur naturally as the main pathway for endogenous neurotransmitter synthesis.[ 23]
Monoamine oxidases A and B are the primary enzymes involved in tryptamine metabolism to produceindole-3-acetaldehyde , however it is unclear which isoform is specific to tryptamine degradation.[ 24]
Conversion of tryptophan to tryptamine, followed by its degradation to indole-3-acetaldehyde.

Serotonin receptor agonist [ edit ] Tryptamine is known to act as aserotonin receptor agonist , although itspotency is limited by rapidinactivation bymonoamine oxidases .[ 4] [ 5] [ 14] [ 37] [ 38] [ 39] It has specifically been found to act as afull agonist of theserotonin 5-HT2A receptor (EC50 Tooltip half-maximal effective concentration = 7.36 ± 0.56 nM;Emax = 104 ± 4%).[ 5] Tryptamine was of much lower potency in stimulating the 5-HT2A receptorβ-arrestin pathway (EC50 = 3,485 ± 234 nM; Emax = 108 ± 16%).[ 5] In contrast to the 5-HT2A receptor, tryptamine was found to be inactive at the serotonin 5-HT1A receptor .[ 5]
Gastrointestinal motility [ edit ] Tryptamine produced by mutualistic bacteria in the human gut activates serotonin GPCRs ubiquitously expressed along the colonic epithelium.[ 17] Upon tryptamine binding, the activated 5-HT4 receptor undergoes a conformational change which allows itsGs alpha subunit to exchangeGDP forGTP , and its liberation from the 5-HT4 receptor and βγ subunit.[ 17] GTP-bound Gs activatesadenylyl cyclase , which catalyzes the conversion ofATP intocyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP).[ 17] cAMP opens chloride and potassium ion channels to drive colonic electrolyte secretion and promote intestinal motility.[ 18] [ 40]
Tryptamine promotes intestinal motility by activating serotonin receptors in the gut to increase colonic secretions. Monoamine releasing agent [ edit ] Tryptamine has been found to act as amonoamine releasing agent (MRA).[ 4] [ 5] [ 30] It is a releaser ofserotonin ,dopamine , andnorepinephrine , in that order of potency (EC50 = 32.6 nM, 164 nM, and 716 nM, respectively).[ 4] [ 5] [ 30] That is, it acts as a serotonin–norepinephrine–dopamine releasing agent (SNDRA).[ 5] [ 30]

Monoaminergic activity enhancer [ edit ] Tryptamine is amonoaminergic activity enhancer (MAE) ofserotonin ,norepinephrine , anddopamine in addition to itsserotonin receptor agonism .[ 50] [ 51] That is, it enhances theaction potential -mediated release of thesemonoamine neurotransmitters .[ 50] [ 51] The MAE actions of tryptamine and other MAEs may be mediated by TAAR1 agonism.[ 52] [ 53] Synthetic and morepotent MAEs likebenzofuranylpropylaminopentane (BPAP) andindolylpropylaminopentane (IPAP) have beenderived from tryptamine.[ 50] [ 51] [ 54] [ 55] [ 56]
Tryptamine is an agonist of thetrace amine-associated receptor 1 (TAAR1).[ 28] It is apotent TAAR1full agonist in rats, a weak TAAR1 full agonist in mice, and a very weak TAAR1partial agonist in humans.[ 28] Tryptamine may act as a traceneuromodulator in some species via activation of TAAR1 signaling.[ 28] [ 57]
The TAAR1 is a stimulatoryG protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that is weaklyexpressed in theintracellular compartment of bothpre- andpostsynaptic neurons.[ 16] TAAR1 agonists have been implicated in regulatingmonoaminergic neurotransmission , for instance by activatingG protein-coupled inwardly-rectifying potassium channels (GIRKs) and reducingneuronal firing via facilitation ofmembrane hyperpolarization through theefflux ofpotassium ions .[ 28] [ 58]
TAAR1 agonists are under investigation as a novel treatment forneuropsychiatric conditions likeschizophrenia ,drug addiction , anddepression .[ 16] The TAAR1 is expressed in brain structures associated with dopamine systems, such as theventral tegmental area (VTA) and serotonin systems in thedorsal raphe nuclei (DRN).[ 16] Additionally, the human TAAR1 gene is localized at 6q23.2 on the human chromosome, which is a susceptibilitylocus formood disorders and schizophrenia.[ 28] Activation of TAAR1 suggests a potential novel treatment forneuropsychiatric disorders , as TAAR1 agonists produceantipsychotic -like,anti-addictive , andantidepressant -like effects in animals.[ 58] [ 28]

Effects in animals and humans [ edit ] In a published clinical study, tryptamine, at a total dose of 23 to 277 mg byintravenous infusion , producedhallucinogenic effects or perceptual disturbances similar to those of small doses oflysergic acid diethylamide (LSD).[ 1] [ 2] [ 5] [ 3] It also produced other LSD-like effects, includingpupil dilation , increasedblood pressure , and increased force of thepatellar reflex .[ 1] [ 5] [ 2] [ 3] Tryptamine producedside effects includingnausea ,vomiting ,dizziness ,tingling sensations,sweating , and bodily heaviness among others as well.[ 1] [ 3] Conversely, there were no changes inheart rate orrespiratory rate .[ 3] Theonset of the effects was rapid and theduration was very short.[ 4] [ 5] [ 2] [ 3] This can be attributed to the very rapidmetabolism of tryptamine bymonoamine oxidase (MAO) and its very shortelimination half-life .[ 4] [ 5] [ 2] [ 3]
In animals, tryptamine, alone and/or in combination with amonoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI), produces behavioral changes such ashyperlocomotion and reversal ofreserpine -inducedbehavioral depression .[ 1] [ 4] [ 59] [ 60] In addition, it produces effects likehyperthermia ,tachycardia ,myoclonus , andseizures orconvulsions , among others.[ 1] [ 4] [ 59] [ 60] Findings on tryptamine and thehead-twitch response in rodents have been mixed, with some studies reporting no effect,[ 61] [ 62] some studies reporting induction of head twitches by tryptamine,[ 63] [ 64] [ 65] and others reporting that tryptamine actually antagonized5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP)-induced head twitches.[ 59] [ 61] Another study found that combination of tryptamine with an MAOI dose-dependently produced head twitches.[ 66] Head twitches in rodents are a behavioral proxy of psychedelic-like effects.[ 67] [ 68] Many of the effects of tryptamine can be reversed byserotonin receptor antagonists likemetergoline ,metitepine (methiothepin), andcyproheptadine .[ 4] [ 59] [ 60] [ 1] Conversely, the effects of tryptamine in animals are profoundly augmented by MAOIs due to inhibition of its metabolism.[ 4] [ 60] [ 1]
Tryptamine seems to also elevateprolactin andcortisol levels in animals and/or humans.[ 60]
TheLD50 Tooltip median lethal dose values of tryptamine in animals include 100 mg/kg i.p. in mice, 500 mg/kg s.c. in mice, and 223 mg/kg i.p. in rats.[ 69]
Tryptamine producedendogenously oradministered peripherally is readily able to cross theblood–brain barrier and enter thecentral nervous system .[ 60] [ 59] This is in contrast toserotonin , which isperipherally selective .[ 60]
Tryptamine ismetabolized bymonoamine oxidase (MAO) to formindole-3-acetic acid (IAA).[ 60] [ 4] [ 59] Its metabolism is described as extremely rapid and itselimination half-life andduration as very short.[ 4] [ 5] [ 2] [ 3] In addition, its duration is described as shorter than that ofdimethyltryptamine (DMT).[ 1] Brain tryptamine levels are increased up to 300-fold by MAOIs in animals.[ 59] In addition, the effects ofexogenous tryptamine are strongly augmented bymonoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs).[ 4] [ 59]
Tryptamine isexcreted inurine and its rate of urinary excretion has been reported to bepH -dependent.[ 3] [ 6] [ 7]
Tryptamine is asubstituted tryptamine derivative andtrace amine and isstructurally related to theamino acid tryptophan .[ 2]
The experimentallog P of tryptamine is 1.55.[ 69]
Thechemical synthesis of tryptamine has been described.[ 2]
Theendogenous monoamine neurotransmitters serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT) andmelatonin (5-methoxy-N -acetyltryptamine), as well as trace amines likeN -methyltryptamine (NMT),N ,N -dimethyltryptamine (DMT), andbufotenin (N ,N -dimethylserotonin), arederivatives of tryptamine.[ 2]
All tryptamine derivatives possess a modified 2-aminoethyl group and/or the addition of a substituent on the indole. A variety of drugs, including bothnaturally occurring andpharmaceutical substances, are derivatives of tryptamine.[ 2] These include the tryptamine psychedelics likepsilocybin ,psilocin , DMT, and5-MeO-DMT ; tryptaminestimulants ,entactogens , psychedelics, and/orantidepressants likeα-methyltryptamine (αMT) andα-ethyltryptamine (αET);triptan antimigraine agents likesumatriptan ; certainantipsychotics likeoxypertine ; and thesleep aid melatonin .[ 2]
Various other drugs, includingergolines andlysergamides like the psychedeliclysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), the antimigraine agentsergotamine ,dihydroergotamine , andmethysergide , and theantiparkinsonian agents bromocriptine ,cabergoline ,lisuride , andpergolide ;β-carbolines likeharmine (some of which aremonoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs));Iboga alkaloids like thehallucinogen ibogaine ;yohimbans like theα2 blocker yohimbine ; antipsychotics likeciclindole andflucindole ; and the MAOI antidepressantmetralindole , can all be thought of ascyclized tryptamine derivatives.[ 2]
Drugs very closely related to tryptamines, but technically not tryptamines themselves, include certain triptans likeavitriptan andnaratriptan ; the antipsychoticssertindole andtepirindole ; and the MAOI antidepressantspirlindole andtetrindole .
