Structure

Hi. What was wrong with the old images? The new ones look okay although for my liking the roman letters are too big. The old images were done with PPCHTeX, which is easily edited and will hopefully soon be incorporated directly into mediawiki much like LaTeX math equations. With your images it is difficult if not impossible for anyone to nicely edit the structure if needs be, and an arbitrary-resolution printable version (as on the cards for all wiki extensions, which ppchtex and XyMTeX will hopefully become) is unavailable.

Addition

I was wondering if you were going to add L-tryptophan (the amino acid) which contains a carboxcylic acid (cooh) on the alpha carbon. rmosler 10:58, 25 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not a chemist so I couldn't say for sure, but it seems that amino acids aren't considered to be amines in general, so tryptophan wouldn't be considered a tryptamine ... could be wrong though. --Russell E 11:05, 25 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The amino acid is a molecule that has both an amine and a carboxylic acid as functional groups. So in essence it is a amine because it has a nitrogenous functional group. The amino acid likely is psychoactive in a large enough dose (>500mg) rmosler 08:13, 4 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

you get noticably hapier and sillier —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.161.0.128 (talk) 05:14, 21 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Tables

The table of natural T's was getting a bit ungainly so I'm thinking to move it to Table of naturally occurring tryptamines and leave only the best-known ones in the table here.--Eloil 20:57, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have 2 suggestions regarding the Selected Tryptamines table: 1) Remove all the the H functional groups, as in the analogous table of phenethylamines. This would make the table easier to read. 2) Remove the R6 column entirely. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.177.144.53 (talk) 10:10, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

3-(2-Aminoethyl)indole

I was just wondering why it would be 2-Aminoethyl instead of 1-Aminoethyl. From my understanding, the 2 being referred to would be in the same place as the α is in the tryptamine picture. -- Kevin ^(TALK)_(MUSIC) 01:59, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It is correct, it is a 2-aminoethyl connected with its 1-position (implicit) to the indole-3 position. Cacycle 02:31, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

4,alpha-methylene-tryptamine

would this or it's derivitives ba both stimulant and pschedelic? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.161.0.177 (talk) 06:50, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
