Application

Tryptamine was used in:
  • multi-layered analysis, used to differentiate and identify biogenic amines
  • in the synthesis of indole ring-terminated thiol, ω-mercaptooctyltryptamide
  • in surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopic investigation of indole ring-terminated self-assembled monolayer on gold electrode

Biochem/physiol Actions

Vasoactive; may have a neuromodulator function; biogenic amine formed from the decarboxylation of tryptophan by L-aromatic amino acid decarboxylase.

The Analyst, 132(10), 1024-1030 (2007-09-26)
Multiple layers of statistical analyses were used to decipher the response from a single, cross-reactive conjugated polymer (1) providing enhanced classification accuracies over traditional multivariate statistical approaches. This analysis was demonstrated by classifying a series of seven biologically relevant, nonvolatile
