The present invention provides a tryptamine prodrug compound. A compound represented by the formula (I)
where each symbol is as described in the specification, or a salt or zwitterion thereof, is converted to an active which has 5HT2A receptor agonist activity, and is useful as an agent for the treatment of depression.
The present invention is directed to pesticidal compositions comprising indole derivatives. These indole derivatives are especially active against phytopathogenic fungi. Furthermore, the invention relates to the use of indole derivatives for the production of pesticides and the use of the compositions according to the invention as pesticides. The present invention is also directed to a process for producing a pesticidal composition and to pesticidal compositions prepared by this process. In addition, the invention relates to a process for preventing or combating pests and to a process for protecting plants against pests, especially against phytopathogenic fungi. Further, the invention is directed to plants or seeds as well as objects or materials which have been protected against pests by treatment with a composition according to the invention. Further, the invention is directed to a method for identifying a substance having pesticidal activity. Further, the invention is directed to a method of identifying the mode of action of and/or of providing binding proteins for a pesticidal compound of the present invention. Finally, the invention is directed to a method for diagnosing pest infection of a plant and to the use of a pesticidal compound of the present invention as diagnostic markers.
Methods for treating a subject for a food allergy condition are provided. Aspects of the methods include administering to a subject in need thereof a psychedelic agent in a manner effective to treat the subject for a food allergy condition. Effective administration of a psychedelic agent may include administering the psychedelic agent in an amount effective to treat the subject for the food allergy condition. In some instances, the subject is known to have a food allergy condition.
Disclosed herein are prokaryotic and eukaryotic microbes, including E. coli and S. cerevisiae, genetically altered to biosynthesize tryptamine and tryptamine derivatives. The microbes of the disclosure may be engineered to contain plasmids and stable gene integrations containing sufficient genetic information for conversion of an anthranilate or an indole to a tryptamine. The fermentative production of substituted tryptamines in a whole-cell biocatalyst may be useful for cost effective production of these compounds for therapeutic use.
