CAS 608-07-1: 5-Methoxytryptamine
Description:5-Methoxytryptamine, also known as 5-MT, is an indoleamine compound that is structurally related to serotonin and melatonin. It is characterized by the presence of a methoxy group (-OCH3) at the 5-position of the tryptamine backbone. This compound is a naturally occurring neurotransmitter and is found in various biological systems, where it plays a role in modulating physiological processes. 5-Methoxytryptamine exhibits properties similar to those of serotonin, influencing mood, sleep, and circadian rhythms. It is soluble in water and organic solvents, making it versatile for various applications in biochemical research. The compound has garnered interest for its potential therapeutic effects, particularly in the context of mood disorders and sleep regulation. However, its pharmacological profile and mechanisms of action are still under investigation. As with many tryptamines, caution is advised regarding its use, as it may interact with serotonin receptors and other neurotransmitter systems.
