Title: N,N dimethyltrytOPHAN
Post by: psycosmo on August 08, 2001, 09:55:00 PM
Has such a thing ever been produced? Would it decarboxylate in vivo to DMT? How hard would it be to synthesize? Would it be considered an analogue?

Check TIHKAL, I seem to remember N,N-dimethyl-tryptophan as being fatal in humans at 1 mg.  This would be in the section of TIHKAL where Shulgin talks about biosynthetics.
DON'T INGEST YET!!! :P

Really?

Wow that makes anything that comes from tryptophan decarboxylation suspect.  Scary!!!
Would dipropyl tryptophan have the same effect?

Or maybe I have been up too long...
I am looking at the book now and see a section where it talks about extracting tryptophans from plants and talks about a seed containing mono and tri n-methyltryptophans that contained an extremely toxic protien fragment...
so i was probably wrong, but it is wise to do some research first... ::)

It wouldn't decarboxylate on it's own. But possibly while smoking... Check my page for references about its synthesis.
