Extract

Since Evarts, Fabing and Marrazzi reported on bufotenine and Szára on N-N dimethyltryptamine (DMT) the tryptamine derivatives have been arousing increased interest. A team of the above Institute was the first to test DMT and N-N diethyltryptamine (DET) in man. These compounds were synthesized by Szára, by the method of Speeter and Anthony. DET was then synthesized again and analysed pharmacologically by Borsi and Lénárt.
