NMT Molecule

Brief overview - What is NMT?

NMT is a tryptamine found in several plants, previously thought to be inactive, but novel research done by Nen888 has shown it to be psychoactive.

Plants containing NMT

Arthrophytum

Arthrophytum leptocladum M.Popov (Thin -stemmed Haloxyton)

• 0.575% by dry weight in 1 year old Green shoots (Flowering stage) (3.7% total alkaloid content; Major alkaloid. Cooccurring with 2 b-carbolines.) Platonova el at. 1958. ref Trout's Notes
• In leaf and stem. Smith 1977b cited Yurashevski 1941 Zhur. Obsch.Chem. 11:157 and Rousseau et al. 1966 Bull.Soc.Pharm.Nancy 71:31

Arthrophytum wackchanica [A. wakhanicum?J

• Smith 1977b cited Orekhov 1955 ref

Delosperma

Presence of MMT in Delosperma spp. is unproven, except for the unpublished data involving work done by the Smith, Kline & French Laboratories. (Cited by Raffauf 1970). Smith 1977b cited Rivier & Pilet 1971 and Deulofeu 1973. Both had cited Raffauf 1970.

• Assays by Appleseed 1994- 1996 ref Trout's Notes:

Delosperma acuminatum

• Faint. Sept., Nov. 1994 and Nov. 1995 assays. (Ehrlich's)

Delosperma hallii

• Nov. 1995 assay. (Xanthydrol)

Delosperma harazianum

• Audhali Plateau, Yemen Nov. 1995 assay. traces (Xanthydrol)

Delosperma hirtum

• Same plant tested Christmas 1994) 2 Nov. 1995. Dark band (Xanthydrol)
• Different plant from same source) Dec. 1994 assay. (Ehrlich's)

Delospemrma tradescantioides

• Nov. 1994 assay. (Ehrlich's). Suspected MMT was major. All faint.

Calycanthus spp.

Calycanthus has been listed as containing NMT. This is probably in error. Manske 1931a & 193lc reported NMT as a degradation product of Calycanthine. Unable to locate any reference indicating its actual presence.

Girgensohnia spp.

Girgensohnia diptera Bge.

• Yurashevski & Stepanov(a?) 1939 (Smith 1977b) ref Trout's Notes

Haloxylon spp.

Haloxylon scoparium

• Shulgin & Shulgin 1997

Hammada spp. =

Hammada leptoclada

• In leaf and stem. Orazkulyev et at. 1964 (Grazkuliev et at. 1964 Zh. prikl.Khim. Leningr., 37: 1394; according to Arthur et at. 1967.)
