Zusammenfassung
Der Stoffwechsel der psychotropischen Verbindung α-Methyltryptamin wurde untersucht. Die drei hauptsächlichsten Metabolite wurdenin vitro undin vivo als 6-Hydroxy-α-methyltryptamin, 3-Indolylaceton und 6-Hydroxy-3-indolylaceton identifiziert.

Since we usedd, l-αMT (synthetized according to the method ofE. H. P. Young, J. chem. Soc.1958, 3496), it is very probable that the bulk of the unchanged compound is thel-isomer not attacked by the stereospecific enzyme (see Ref.7).
