Tryptamines are a class of monoamine compounds containing an indole ring, found widely in nature, including in plants, fungi, and animals. They act as vital neurotransmitters (serotonin), hormones (melatonin), or psychoactive substances like DMT and psilocybin, often used for their profound hallucinogenic and serotonin-modulating effects.
