Disease relevance of tryptamine

  • Although tryptamine secretion by carcinoid tumors is rare, 5-hydroxytryptophan secretion may be more common than is recognized [1].
  • Stability of Lambdoid bacteriophage heads: antagonism between polyamines and tryptamine [2].
  • Tryptamine-induced PI breakdown could be partially inhibited by pretreatment with 4 beta-phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate but not pertussis toxin [3].
  • By pursuing urinary excretion of serotonin and tryptamine after oral loading with L-tryptophan (30 mg per kilogram body weight), our method proves that urinary excretion of both indoleamines increases immediately after loading and reaches a maximum in about 45 min [4].
  • The findings of decreased densities of [3H]tryptamine binding sites taken in conjunction with previous reports of increased CSF and brain tryptamine concentrations in HE suggest a pathogenic role for this neuroactive amine in HE resulting from chronic liver failure [5].
 

Psychiatry related information on tryptamine

 

High impact information on tryptamine

  • The crystal structures of STR1 in complex with its natural substrates tryptamine and secologanin provide structural understanding of the observed substrate preference and identify residues lining the active site surface that contact the substrates [10].
  • Platelet monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity was determined with tryptamine as substrate for 61 drug-free patients who had a primary major depressive disorder and for 32 normal controls [11].
  • Carbidopa, a decarboxylase inhibitor that does not cross the blood-brain barrier, inhibits the peripheral synthesis of nor-adrenaline, serotonin, and tryptamine [12].
  • There may exist a rostrally projecting neuronal tryptamine containing system arising from cell bodies in or close to the nucleus raphé medianus [13].
  • Localization of AT transcripts in the pineal gland and in specific cells of the intestine, cerebral cortex, pituitary, and lung identifies cells that may be important to the neurotransmitter and hormonal roles of the tryptamine derivatives [14].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of tryptamine

  • The cDNA for strictosidine synthase, the enzyme catalyzing the stereospecific condensation of tryptamine with secologanin producing strictosidine, the key intermediate in indole alkaloid biosynthesis, has been expressed in an enzymatically active form in Escherichia coli [15].
  • Tryptamine-induced myoclonus in guinea-pigs pretreated with a monoamine oxidase inhibitor indicates pre- and post-synaptic actions of tryptamine upon central indoleamine systems [16].
  • In rats, tryptamine-induced clonic seizure, a 5-HT2 receptor-mediated behavior, was also dose-dependently inhibited by NRA0045 (ED50 = 1.7 mg/kg i.p.). Norepinephrine-induced lethality is regarded as being induced through the alpha-1 adrenoceptor [17].
  • F 11356 thus is a selective, high-potency agonist at 5-HT1B/1D receptors, which distinguishes itself from tryptamine and derivatives in exerting high intrinsic activity at these receptors in vascular and neuronal models relevant to migraine [18].
  • High yielding Lewis acid-catalysed one-pot Pictet-Spengler reactions of tryptophan methyl ester and tryptamine with aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes were achieved in short reaction times with the aid of microwave irradiation [19].
