Metabolite Identification
Common Name5-Methoxydimethyltryptamine
Description5-Methoxydimethyltryptamine, like all methoxydimethyltryptamines is a compound that contain the biogenic monoamine tryptamine and is substituted with one methoxy group and two methyl groups. Members of this group include several potent serotonergic hallucinogens found in several unrelated plants, skins of certain toads, and in mammalian brains. They are possibly involved in the etiology of schizophrenia. They are formed as metabolites of serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine) or tryptamine by the enzyme indolethylamine N-methyltransferase (INMT). The physiological significance of the N-methylating pathway of indoleamine metabolism, and of the methylated end products, is unknown. Because of the known psychotropic properties of the dimethylated amines, their possible involvement in the chemical pathogenesis of mental disorders has received wide interest. The hallucinogenic actions of the methylated indoleamines, like those of LSD, are believed to be mediated through the 5HT2 receptor. (PMID 11763413 ).
