5-benzyloxytryptamine [Supplementary Concept]
Date introduced: September 5, 1991
Inflammation Mediators
The endogenous compounds that mediate inflammation (AUTACOIDS) and related exogenous compounds including the synthetic prostaglandins (PROSTAGLANDINS, SYNTHETIC).
Year introduced: 1995
Biogenic Monoamines
Biogenic amines having only one amine moiety. Included in this group are all natural monoamines formed by the enzymatic decarboxylation of natural amino acids.
Year introduced: 1989
Tryptamines
Decarboxylated monoamine derivatives of TRYPTOPHAN.
Year introduced: 1966(1964)
Autacoids
A chemically diverse group of substances produced by various tissues in the body that cause slow contraction of smooth muscle; they have other intense but varied pharmacologic activities.
Organic Chemicals
A broad class of substances containing carbon and its derivatives. Many of these chemicals will frequently contain hydrogen with or without oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus, and other elements. They exist in either carbon chain or carbon ring form.
Year introduced: 1998
Indoles
Benzopyrroles with the nitrogen at the number one carbon adjacent to the benzyl portion, in contrast to ISOINDOLES which have the nitrogen away from the six-membered ring.
Heterocyclic Compounds, 2-Ring
A class of heterocyclic compounds that include a two-ring fused structure. Both aromatic and non-aromatic ring structures are included in this category.
Heterocyclic Compounds
Cyclic compounds that include atoms other than carbon in their ring structure.
Biological Factors
Endogenously synthesized compounds that influence biological processes not otherwise classified under ENZYMES; HORMONES or HORMONE ANTAGONISTS.
Biogenic Amines
A group of naturally occurring amines derived by enzymatic decarboxylation of the natural amino acids. Many have powerful physiological effects (e.g., histamine, serotonin, epinephrine, tyramine). Those derived from aromatic amino acids, and also their synthetic analogs (e.g., amphetamine), are of use in pharmacology.
Year introduced: 1973(1971)
Amines
A group of compounds derived from ammonia by substituting organic radicals for the hydrogens. (From Grant and Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed)
Heterocyclic Compounds, Fused-Ring
Multiple ring heterocyclic compounds containing two or more rings that share two atoms and one bond in common.
Year introduced: 2017
