[Extraction of serotonin, bufotenin, 5-methoxytryptamine and 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine and their fluorometric determination with o-phthaldialdehyde]. 1980

W Kitzrow, and L Franke, and R Uebelhack, and K Seidel

For the investigated indolamines, the recovery following extraction with n-butanol and acetic acid ethyl ester from alkaline solution amounted to 80-90%. Using benzene only the two 5-methoxyindolamines were transferred from the alkaline medium into the organic phase. The reaction of the o-phthaldialdehyde with substituted indolamines was optimized in regard to higher fluorimetric detection sensitivity. The lower limit of determination was 2.0 ng for 5HT and 5OHDMT, and 1.0 ng for 5MeOT and 5MeODMT.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008732 Methoxydimethyltryptamines Compounds that contain the biogenic monoamine tryptamine and are substituted with one methoxy group and two methyl groups. Members of this group include several potent serotonergic hallucinogens found in several unrelated plants, skins of certain toads, and in mammalian brains. They are possibly involved in the etiology of schizophrenia. Methylbufotenin,5-Methoxy-N,N-Dimethyltryptamine,Methoxydimethyltryptamine,N,N-Dimethyl-5-Methoxytryptamine,5 Methoxy N,N Dimethyltryptamine,N,N Dimethyl 5 Methoxytryptamine
D008735 5-Methoxytryptamine Serotonin derivative proposed as potentiator for hypnotics and sedatives. Meksamine,Methoxytryptamine,Mexamine,5 Methoxytryptamine
D009764 o-Phthalaldehyde A reagent that forms fluorescent conjugation products with primary amines. It is used for the detection of many biogenic amines, peptides, and proteins in nanogram quantities in body fluids. ortho-Phthalaldehyde,Orthophthaldialdehyde,o-Phthaldialdehyde,ortho-Phthalic Aldehyde,Aldehyde, ortho-Phthalic,o Phthalaldehyde,o Phthaldialdehyde,ortho Phthalaldehyde,ortho Phthalic Aldehyde
D002027 Bufotenin A hallucinogenic serotonin analog found in frog or toad skins, mushrooms, higher plants, and mammals, especially in the brains, plasma, and urine of schizophrenics. Bufotenin has been used as a tool in CNS studies and misused as a psychedelic. Dimethylserotonin,Mappine,5-Hydroxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine,Bufotenine,Mappin,N,N-Dimethyl-5-hydroxytryptamine,5 Hydroxy N,N dimethyltryptamine,N,N Dimethyl 5 hydroxytryptamine

D001554 Benzene Toxic, volatile, flammable liquid hydrocarbon byproduct of coal distillation. It is used as an industrial solvent in paints, varnishes, lacquer thinners, gasoline, etc. Benzene causes central nervous system damage acutely and bone marrow damage chronically and is carcinogenic. It was formerly used as parasiticide. Benzol,Benzole,Cyclohexatriene
D012701 Serotonin A biochemical messenger and regulator, synthesized from the essential amino acid L-TRYPTOPHAN. In humans it is found primarily in the central nervous system, gastrointestinal tract, and blood platelets. Serotonin mediates several important physiological functions including neurotransmission, gastrointestinal motility, hemostasis, and cardiovascular integrity. Multiple receptor families (RECEPTORS, SEROTONIN) explain the broad physiological actions and distribution of this biochemical mediator. 5-HT,5-Hydroxytryptamine,3-(2-Aminoethyl)-1H-indol-5-ol,Enteramine,Hippophaine,Hydroxytryptamine,5 Hydroxytryptamine
