Cannabis Compound Identification
Common NameTryptamine
DescriptionTryptamine, also known as TRPN, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as tryptamines and derivatives. Tryptamines and derivatives are compounds containing the tryptamine backbone, which is structurally characterized by an indole ring substituted at the 3-position by an ethanamine. Tryptamine is a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). Tryptamine exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. Outside of the human body, Tryptamine has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as rocket salad, ohelo berries, cashew nuts, chia, and japanese walnuts. This could make tryptamine a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. An aminoalkylindole consisting of indole having a 2-aminoethyl group at the 3-position. Tryptamine is expected to be in Cannabis as all living plants are known to produce and metabolize it.
