Abstract
Solvent extraction of pooled rat brain stem tissues analyzed by a sensitive (long) TLC technique failed to identify 5-methoxytryptamine in these tissues. Since 5-methoxytrypamine has been suggested to be the identity of an unknown monoamine in rat brain this work cannot support this conjecture. Suggestion is made that this unknown amine could be tryptamine.Keywords
