High impact information on Dipterine

  • An effective biotransformation of N-methyltryptamine was also demonstrated with surface cultures of Psilocybe semilanceata [1].
  • When C14-labelled N-methyltryptamine was administered by intravenous injection to rabbits, C14-dimethyltryptamine was found in lung, the principle site of the methyltransferase that biosynthesizes this psychotogen [2].
  • Partially purified rabbit lung N-methyltransferase (NMT) was used in an in vitro assay to screen various amines and substrate analogs as potential inhibitors, N-Methyltryptamine (NMeT, 10(-3 M) and 14C-S-adenosyl-L-methionine (14C-SAM, 2.5 X 10(-5) M) were used as substrates to form 14C-N, N-dimethyltryptamine (14C-DMT) [3].
