Solubility (25°C)* In vitro DMSO 32 mg/mL (199.72 mM)
Ethanol 32 mg/mL (199.72 mM)
Water Insoluble
In vivo (Add solvents to the product individually and in order)
Clear solution
5% DMSO 95% corn oil
0.65mg/ml Taking the 1 mL working solution as an example, add 50 μL of 13 mg/ml clear DMSO stock solution to 950 μL of corn oil and mix evenly. The mixed solution should be used immediately for optimal results. 
Clear solution
5%DMSO 40%PEG300 5%Tween80 50%ddH2O
16.7mg/ml Taking the 1 mL working solution as an example, add 50 μL of 334 mg/ml clarified DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300, mix evenly to clarify it; add 50 μL Tween80 to the above system, mix evenly to clarify it; then continue to add 500 μL ddH2O to adjust the volume to 1 mL. The mixed solution should be used immediately for optimal results. 
* <1 mg/ml means slightly soluble or insoluble.
* Please note that Selleck tests the solubility of all compounds in-house, and the actual solubility may differ slightly from published values. This is normal and is due to slight batch-to-batch variations.
* Room temperature shipping (Stability testing shows this product can be shipped without any cooling measures.)

Biological Activity

Description Tryptamine is a monoamine alkaloid and may play a role as a neuromodulator or neurotransmitter. It is an agonist of hTAAR1. It acts as a non-selective serotonin receptor agonist and serotonin-norepinephrine-dopamine releasing agent (SNDRA).
Targets
hTAAR1 [2]
(COS-7 cells)
1.08 μM(Ki)
In vitro High concentrations of tryptamine (0.1-1 mM) induce autophagy in HT22 and SK-N-SH nerve cell lines and in primary cultures of astrocytes, glial cells being less sensitive than neurons[2].
In vivo Tryptamine at a dose of 50 mg/kg i.p. induces an inhibition of locomotor activity and, at doses ranging from 150 to 300 mg/kg, induces peculiar behaviors such as head twitch, head weaving, forepaw treading, hindlimb abduction and Straub tail. Tryptamine induces both the depression and excitation in the behavior of mice depending on the dosage and Tryptamine-induced excitatory behaviors may be attributed to both its direct stimulation of 5-HT receptors and facilitation of 5-HT release[3].
