Frequently Asked Questions
5-Methoxytryptamine is an indole-based crystalline solid with the molecular formula C₁₁H₁₄N₂O and molecular weight 190.24 g/mol. Its structure contains a 5-methoxyindole ring and an aminoethyl group, and its reported melting point is approximately 121–123 °C.
Store in a cool, dry, dark, and tightly sealed environment. Avoid moisture, excessive heat, direct light, and unnecessary dust exposure.
5-Methoxytryptamine can be obtained through established organic synthesis and biochemical preparation routes.
For commercial production, the main focus is on high chemical purity, correct structural identity, and consistent batch quality. HPLC, NMR, IR, and MS can be used for identity and purity confirmation.
Its main value is as a specialty indoleamine research compound.
Because its structure is closely related to serotonin and other tryptamine derivatives, it is mainly used in biochemical, pharmacological, analytical, and indole chemistry research.
5-Methoxytryptamine contains a 5-methoxy-substituted indole ring and a 2-aminoethyl side chain.
This combination gives it the characteristic structure of a tryptamine derivative and makes it useful for studying indoleamine structure-activity relationships and related biological systems.
Handle 5-Methoxytryptamine as a specialty laboratory research chemical. Avoid inhalation of dust and contact with skin or eyes, and use appropriate gloves, eye protection, and ventilation.
Keep the product tightly sealed, dry, cool, and protected from light. Always follow the latest product SDS for detailed safety requirements.
