Application

5-Methyltryptamine hydrochloride was used to study the mechanism of metabolism of 9-methyl 1,2,3,4,6,7,12,12b-octahydroindolo[2,3-a]quinolizine in rats. It was used as internal standard in the determination of urinary metabolites of 5-methoxy-N,N-diisopropyltryptamine in humans. It was used as reactant in:
  • synthesis of kinesin spindle protein (KSP) inhibitors
  • intramolecular furan Diels-Alder reactions
  • Pictet-Spengler-like reactions
  • reactant in synthesis of kinesin spindle protein (KSP) inhibitors
  • reactant in intramolecular furan Diels-Alder reactions
  • reactant in Pictet-Spengler-like reactions

One of the major pathways for neurotransmitter signaling involves phosphoinositide-specific and G-protein-dependent phospholipase C-beta (PLC-beta), which stimulates the formation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and diacylglycerol. Serotonergic and muscarinic-cholinergic signals in the brain are largely mediated through the hydrolysis of phosphoinositides by
