      Compliation of Natural sources of Tryptamines  Bookmark   

This I beleive is a good idea:  A perment thread in the tryptamine forum of all the DOCUMENTED natural sources of tryptamines

I think that all the sources listed in this forum should have references listed directly after the plant source so as to verifiy it's acuracy

I will start this thread off with what I know

"Toxic Amines and Alkaloids from Acacia Rigudula

...

Acacia rigudula Benth., blackbrush, is a schrub found growing on rocky
ridges in southwest and west Texas, and in the northern states of
Mexico, including Tamaulipas, Nuevo Leon, Chihuahua, San Luis Potosi,
and Jalisco [1].  ...  Previous analysis of blackbrush had detected and
 identified four amines, N-methyl-[beta]phenethylamine (NMPEA),
tyramine, N-methyltyramine and hordenine, ...

...  As a result of this study, an intensive chemical analysis of A.
rigudula Benth. was undertaken to identify the amines and alkaloids
present in the leaves and stems that would comprise browse material.

Results and Discussion

Leaves and stems that would comprise browse material were packed into a
Soxhlet apparatus and extracted with methanol followed by extraction
with chloroform.  ...

Acid extraction of plant material

Acacia rigudula, 100 g, was placed into a 1 L erlenmeyer flask and
mixed with 500 mL of 10% aq. acid (HCl and AcOH were both used).  The
suspension was stirred under argon at 60 [degrees] overnight.  The
darkened suspension was filtered through glass wool covered with a 2 cm
bed of sand.  The filtrate was extracted X 2 with 100 mL portions of
EtOAc followed by X 3 extraction with 100 mL portions of CHCl3.  The pH
of the filtrate was adjusted to ca 10 by addition of NaOH pellets. 
This solution was extracted X 3 with 150 portionsof EtOAc. The organic
extracts were combined, dried over MgSO4, filtered, concentrated under
vacuum and stored under argon proir to analysis by GC-MS."

"The genus Acacia is well represent in Sudan [1] and is economically of
great importance.  Gum arabic, the second most important export
commidity [2], is obtained from species.  ...

...  ...tryptamine have been found in the leaves of twelve species
[3].  Tetrahydroharman [4], its N-methyl derivatives [5], n-methyl and
N, N-dimethyltryptamine [6-8], hordenine [9], phenethylamine and its
derivatives [10], ... has also been reported to be present in several
Acacia species.  ... 

...

Results and Discussion

...

The yield of dimethyltryptamine from A. polycantha subsp. campylacantha
 was 0.004%; from A. nubica, 0.0016%; and from A. senegal, 0.003%,
calculated from the weight of the picrate."
