6-Chlorotryptamine

Description:

6-Chlorotryptamine is a chemical compound that belongs to the class of tryptamines, which are derived from the amino acid tryptophan. It features a chlorine atom substituted at the 6-position of the indole ring, which is characteristic of tryptamine derivatives. This substitution can influence its biological activity and receptor interactions. 6-Chlorotryptamine is known to act as a serotonin receptor agonist, particularly at the 5-HT receptors, which are involved in various physiological processes including mood regulation, cognition, and gastrointestinal function. The compound is typically studied in the context of neuropharmacology and may have implications in understanding mood disorders and other neurological conditions. Its molecular structure includes an indole moiety, an amine group, and the chlorine substituent, contributing to its unique chemical properties. As with many tryptamines, it may exhibit psychoactive effects, although its specific pharmacological profile requires further investigation. Safety and handling precautions are essential when working with this compound due to its potential biological activity.

Controlled Product

CAS: 3670-19-7

6-Chlorotryptamine is an indole alkaloid that is found in plants such as "Inula helenium". It has vasoconstrictive properties, which is due to its ability to inhibit the enzyme tryptophan decarboxylase. This inhibition leads to a decrease in serotonin levels, which causes blood vessels to narrow and slows blood flow. 6-Chlorotryptamine also inhibits protein synthesis by preventing the cross-coupling of amino acids. The compound can be found in a number of natural sources, including aerocolonigenes and plant species such as "Inula helenium" and "Lysimachia nummularia".
