Bufotenin, also known as dimethylserotonin or as '5-hydroxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (5-HO-DMT'), is a serotonergic psychedelic of the tryptamine family. It is a derivative of the psychedelic dimethyltryptamine (DMT) and of the neurotransmitter serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT). The compound is an alkaloid found in some species of mushrooms, plants, and toads. It is also found naturally in the human body in small amounts. Bufotenin, for instance derived from the trees Anadenanthera colubrina and Anadenanthera peregrina, has a long history of entheogenic use as a snuff in South America.

5-MeO-DMT, also known as '5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine, as well as O-methylbufotenin or mebufotenin', is an atypical psychedelic drug, entheogen, and alkaloid of the tryptamine and 5-methoxytryptamine families. It is found naturally in a wide variety of plant species, and is also secreted by the glands of at least one toad species, the Colorado River toad (Incilius alvarius, formerly Bufo alvarius). It may occur naturally in humans as well. Like its close relatives dimethyltryptamine (DMT) and bufotenin (5-HO-DMT), it has been used as an entheogen in South America. Slang terms include five

5-MeO-DiPT, also known as '5-methoxy-N,N-diisopropyltryptamine and sometimes as foxy methoxy or simply foxy', is an atypical psychedelic drug of the tryptamine and 5-methoxytryptamine families. It has unique and distinct effects from other serotonergic tryptamines, including some stimulant- and entactogen-like effects, robust tactile and sexual enhancement, and only light hallucinogenic effects.

Escaline (E), also known as 3,5-dimethoxy-4-ethoxyphenethylamine, is a psychedelic drug of the phenethylamine and scaline families related to mescaline. It is the 4-ethoxy analogue of mescaline (3,4,5-trimethoxyphenethylamine) and the phenethylamine (non-α-methyl) analogue of 3C-E (3,5-dimethoxy-4-ethoxyamphetamine). The drug has been encountered as a novel designer drug.

LY-334370 is a selective serotonin 5-HT1F receptor agonist of the triptan and piperidinylindole families which was under development by Eli Lilly and Company for the treatment of migraine headaches. The drug showed efficacy in a phase II clinical trial but further development was halted due to toxicity detected in animals. It is closely related to tryptamines like the psychedelic drug dimethyltryptamine (DMT), but is not technically a tryptamine itself and is instead a piperidinylindole similarly to naratriptan.
