Tryptamine-d4 Hydrochloride

Tryptamine-d4 hydrochloride is the deuterium labeled Tryptamine hydrochloride. Tryptamine hydrochloride, a monoamine alkaloid, similar to other trace amines, is believed to play a role as a neuromodulator or neurotransmitter[1].

Stable heavy isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, and other elements have been incorporated into drug molecules, largely as tracers for quantitation during the drug development process. Deuteration has gained attention because of its potential to affect the pharmacokinetic and metabolic profiles of drugs[1].
