Sign in to save'''N-Methylserotonin, also known as norbufotenin or as 5-hydroxy-N-methyltryptamine (5-HO-NMT'), is a tryptamine alkaloid. Chemically, it is a derivative of serotonin in which a methyl group resides at its alkyl amine. It is also called Nω-methylserotonin (N''ω-methyl-5-hydroxytryptamine) to distinguish it from tryptamine-derived compounds in which a methyl group is bonded to the nitrogen atom of the indole group.
