'''Substituted tryptamine''' refers to a class of [[molecule|molecules]] that are structurally derived from the [[tryptamine]] molecule. The tryptamine structure is the backbone for a group of compounds termed collectively as substituted tryptamines. This class of drug contains a broad range of [[psychedelic]], [[stimulant]], and [[antidepressant]] effects.

== Structure and Function ==

Substituted tryptamines have the same core structure as tryptamine, but with additional [[substitution|substituents]] attached to the molecule. The structure of tryptamine is a combination of an [[indole]] ring and an [[ethylamine]] side chain. The substitutions can occur at various positions on the tryptamine molecule, leading to a wide variety of compounds with different effects.

== Pharmacology ==

The [[pharmacology]] of substituted tryptamines is complex and varies depending on the specific compound. Many substituted tryptamines are [[serotonin]] [[agonist|agonists]], meaning they bind to and activate serotonin receptors in the brain. This can lead to a range of effects, including [[hallucination|hallucinations]], altered perception, and mood elevation.

== Examples of Substituted Tryptamines ==

There are many examples of substituted tryptamines, including both naturally occurring compounds and synthetic drugs. Some examples include:

* [[Psilocybin]]: A naturally occurring psychedelic compound found in certain species of mushrooms.
* [[DMT]] (Dimethyltryptamine): A powerful psychedelic compound found in a variety of plant species, and in trace amounts in the human body.
* [[AMT]] (Alpha-Methyltryptamine): A synthetic compound with stimulant, psychedelic, and entactogenic effects.

== Legal Status ==

The legal status of substituted tryptamines varies greatly by country and by specific compound. In many countries, including the United States, many substituted tryptamines are classified as [[controlled substance|controlled substances]], making their manufacture, sale, and possession illegal.

== See Also ==

* [[Phenethylamine]]
* [[Lysergamide]]
* [[Psychedelic drug]]
