CAS 299-26-3
:(±)-α-Methyltryptamine
Description:
(±)-α-Methyltryptamine, with the CAS number 299-26-3, is a chemical compound that belongs to the tryptamine family, which is characterized by the presence of an indole ring structure. This substance is a derivative of tryptamine, featuring a methyl group at the alpha position of the ethylamine side chain. It exists as a racemic mixture, meaning it contains both the R and S enantiomers, which can exhibit different biological activities. (±)-α-Methyltryptamine is known for its psychoactive properties and has been studied for its potential effects on serotonin receptors, particularly the 5-HT2A receptor, which is implicated in mood regulation and perception. The compound is typically encountered in research settings and is not widely used in clinical applications. Its solubility in organic solvents and limited solubility in water are notable physical properties. As with many tryptamines, safety and regulatory considerations are important, as the compound may have implications for mental health and substance use.
