'''Substituted tryptamines''' (or simply '''tryptamines''') are a group of organic compounds that are based upon the [[tryptamine]] core structure. The class is composed of all the derivative compounds which can be formed by substituting one or more hydrogen atoms in the tryptamine core structure with other substituents. | '''Substituted tryptamines''' (or simply '''tryptamines''') are a group of organic compounds that are based upon the [[Tryptamine (compound)|tryptamine]] core structure.

Natural tryptamines are found in most plants and animals, forming from the decarboxylation of the amino acid tryptophan.<ref>{{cite web|title=Tryptamines|url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/neuroscience/tryptamines|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200110234704/https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/neuroscience/tryptamines|access-date=January 11, 2020|archive-date=January 11, 2020|publisher=ScienceDirect}}</ref> | Natural tryptamines are found in most plants and animals, forming from the decarboxylation of the amino acid tryptophan.<ref>{{cite web|title=Tryptamines|url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/neuroscience/tryptamines|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200110234704/https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/neuroscience/tryptamines|access-date=January 11, 2020|archive-date=January 11, 2020|publisher=ScienceDirect}}</ref> | ||
