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.

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 is unproven, except for the unpublished data involving work done by the Smith, Kline & French Laboratories.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:

Delosperma acuminatum

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

• 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)

Haloxylon spp.

Haloxylon scoparium

• Shulgin & Shulgin 1997

Hammada spp. =

Hammada leptoclada

• In leaf and stem. Orazkulyev et at. 1964 (Grazkuliev et at. 1964 Zh. prikt.

Justicia spp.

Justicia pectoralis

• In leaf. Shulgin & Shulgin 1997
• var. stenophylla -In leaf. 31 August 1994 harvest. Faint band corresponding MMT. TLC by Appleseed ref Trout's Notes
