| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Description]
N-acetyl Tryptamine is a structural analog of melatonin (5-methoxy-N-acetyltryptamine; ) that binds the melatonin MT2 receptor (Ki = 41 nM). It acts as a melatonin receptor antagonist in frog skin and chicken retina and as a partial agonist in rabbit retina. N-acetyl Tryptamine is also a reaction product of assays for serotonin N-acetyltransferase, the penultimate enzyme in the melatonin biosynthetic pathway. | [Description]
The Argentinian medicinal plant Prosopsis nigra contains this alkaloid of the simple
indole type which has recently been isolated and characterized. It may be a direct
precursor in the biosynthesis of the {:l-carboline bases. | [Uses]

ChEBI: A tryptamine compound having an acetyl substituent attached to the side-chain amino function. | [Enzyme inhibitor]
This partial receptor agonist (FW = 202.26 g/mol; CAS 1016-47-3; Soluble
to 100 mM in DMSO) is a melatonin (or 5-methoxy-N-acetyltryptamine)
mimic and is more potent than melatonin in inhibiting dopamine release
fom presynaptic melatonin receptor site of rabbit retina labeled in vitro
with [3H]dopamine. | [storage]
