Chemical Properties
white to off-white shiny cryst. powder or flakes
Uses
N-Methyltryptamine is an alkylamine, a putative hallucinogen constituent from the root of Mimosa ophthalmocentra. An alkaloid from the leaves of Hammada scoparia.
Uses
N-Methyltryptamine (NMT) is a naturally-occurring tryptamine which may be derived from L-tryptophan or, indirectly, from serotonin. While substituted NMTs are psychoactive through their effects on monoamine action, NMT appears to be rapidly metabolized by monoamine oxidases. This product is intended for research and forensic applications.[Cayman Chemical]
