General description

The fluorescence property of tryptamine hydrochloride was studied in reverse micelles solution made with benzylhexadecyldimethylammonium chloride (BHDC) in benzene.

Application

Reactant for preparation of:
  • Tryptamine derivatives as inhibitors against hepatitis B virus
  • Carbamoyl epipodophyllotoxins as potential antitumor agents
  • Anthranilic acid derivatives as CCK receptor antagonists
  • Brassinin derivatives as indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase inhibitors
  • Antispasmodic agents
  • β-carbolinium cations as new antimalarial agents

Biochem/physiol Actions

Vasoactive; may have a neuromodulator function.

Other Notes

Biogenic amine formed from the decarboxylation of tryptophan by L-aromatic amino acid decarboxylase.
