Product Description
Tryptamine is a monoamine alkaloid, similar to other trace amines, and is considered a neuromodulator or neurotransmitter.
Tryptamine (CAS#: 61-54-1) is a monoamine alkaloid found in animals, plants, and fungi that contains an indole ring structure and is structurally analogous to tryptophan. It may function as a neuromodulator or neurotransmitter. The compound is an agonist of hTAAR1 and acts as a non-selective serotonin receptor agonist and serotonin-norepinephrine-dopamine releasing agent (SNDRA). It promotes intestinal anion secretion and fluid transport by activating GPCRs. Its molecular formula is C10H12N2 with a molecular weight of 160.22 g/mol.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Tryptamine targets multiple receptors and transporters. It is an agonist of hTAAR1 (human trace amine-associated receptor 1). The compound acts as a non-selective serotonin receptor agonist and a serotonin-norepinephrine-dopamine releasing agent (SNDRA). It activates G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) to promote intestinal anion secretion. Tryptamine is a biochemical precursor to serotonin, melatonin, and various psychedelic substances.
ln Vitro
In vitro, Tryptamine acts as an hTAAR1 agonist and a non-selective serotonin receptor agonist. It promotes intestinal anion secretion and fluid transport by activating GPCRs. The compound is a neuromodulator that modulates mood, cognition, and perception. Its receptor binding and functional activities have been characterized in various in vitro systems.
ln Vivo
In vivo, Tryptamine promotes intestinal anion secretion and fluid transport, accelerating gastrointestinal motility. It can be used to study intestinal motility disorders such as functional constipation. The compound has shown significant efficacy in multiple sclerosis models. Tryptamine is a biochemical precursor to serotonin, melatonin, and psychedelic substances.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro receptor binding assays for Tryptamine involve measuring affinity for hTAAR1 and serotonin receptors. Radioligand binding displacement studies are performed using membranes from cells expressing these receptors. Functional activity is assessed by measuring receptor-mediated signaling such as cAMP changes or calcium mobilization. For SNDRA activity, neurotransmitter release is measured. Assays are performed in appropriate buffer systems with positive controls.
Cell Assay
In vitro cell-based assays for Tryptamine are conducted in cells expressing hTAAR1, serotonin receptors, or GPCRs. Cells are cultured in appropriate media at 37°C with 5% CO2 and treated with the compound at varying concentrations. Receptor activation is assessed by measuring cAMP or calcium signaling. For intestinal studies, intestinal epithelial cells are used and anion secretion is measured. Cell viability is assessed by standard assays. Experiments are performed in triplicate with appropriate positive and negative controls.
Animal Protocol
Tryptamine in vivo studies are conducted in animal models of intestinal motility disorders and multiple sclerosis. Animals are treated with Tryptamine via oral administration or injection. Gastrointestinal motility is assessed by measuring intestinal transit. For multiple sclerosis models, disease progression and immune responses are assessed. Animals are monitored for clinical signs. Tissues and blood samples are collected for histopathological and biomarker analysis. Studies are conducted in accordance with institutional animal care guidelines.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Tryptamine (MW 160.22 g/mol, C10H12N2) is a monoamine alkaloid with an indole ring structure. It is a neuromodulator and neurotransmitter. The compound is soluble in organic solvents. It is stable under recommended storage conditions. Tryptamine is an hTAAR1 agonist and SNDRA. Pharmacokinetic parameters such as half-life, bioavailability, and tissue distribution would be determined in species-specific studies.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Tryptamine is generally well-tolerated in preclinical studies. The compound is a monoamine alkaloid and neuromodulator. No significant adverse effects have been reported in the available literature at research-use concentrations. The compound is intended for research use only. Standard safety precautions should be followed when handling. Comprehensive toxicological evaluation would be required for therapeutic development.

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
