AMT (Alpha-Methyltryptamine)

Professional Tryptamine Reference Standards for Global Research & Analytical Applications

AMT (alpha-Methyltryptamine, IT-290, CAS 299-26-3) is a synthetic tryptamine compound utilised as an analytical reference standard in forensic toxicology, NPS monitoring programmes, and monoamine receptor pharmacology research. As a structurally unique tryptamine featuring an alpha-methyl substitution on the ethylamine side chain, this compound serves critical functions in laboratories investigating serotonin receptor interactions, metabolic pathway analysis, and emerging substance identification across Europe, North America, Asia-Pacific, and international professional markets.

At realchemsupply.com, we supply high-purity AMT analytical standards manufactured to stringent industrial specifications for qualified organisations worldwide. Our international B2B chemical supply infrastructure supports forensic laboratories, universities, research institutions, analytical facilities, and industrial manufacturers requiring consistent, documented reference materials for tryptamine differentiation and research applications.

What Are AMT Products?

Chemical Classification and Overview

AMT belongs to the tryptamine chemical class, characterised by an indoleethylamine core structure with distinctive alpha-methyl substitution at the 2-position of the side chain. The systematic IUPAC designation is 1-(1H-indol-3-yl)propan-2-amine, distinguishing it from unsubstituted tryptamine and other alkylated analogues.

Molecular Formula: C₁₁H₁₄N₂
Molecular Weight: 174.24 g/mol
CAS Registry Number: 299-26-3
Chemical Class: Synthetic tryptamine; Indolealkylamine derivative

The alpha-methyl substitution creates a chiral centre at the side chain, resulting in R- and S-enantiomers with potentially distinct pharmacological profiles. This structural feature, combined with the primary amine functionality, differentiates AMT from N,N-dialkyltryptamines (DMT, DET, DPT) and 5-substituted tryptamines (5-MeO-DMT, 5-MeO-DiPT) in both chemical properties and analytical behaviour.

General Characteristics and Industrial Relevance

Tryptamine reference standards like AMT serve essential functions within professional chemical analysis and research workflows:

  • Forensic Toxicology: Identification and quantification in biological matrices for post-mortem investigations, clinical toxicology, and impaired driving assessments involving novel psychoactive substances
  • NPS Surveillance: Early warning system participation and seized material characterisation for border control, law enforcement, and regulatory monitoring programmes
  • Serotonin Receptor Research: 5-HT₂A receptor agonist studies, monoamine oxidase inhibition investigations, and structure-activity relationship analysis
  • Metabolic Pathway Studies: Characterisation of phase I and phase II metabolic transformations distinctive to alpha-methylated tryptamines
  • Analytical Method Development: Validation of chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques for tryptamine isomer differentiation

Professional organisations source these materials through qualified B2B chemical suppliers to ensure batch consistency, documented purity, enantiomeric composition verification, and regulatory compliance for forensic defensibility.

Procurement Considerations

When sourcing AMT reference standards, professional buyers evaluate:

  • Specification Documentation: Comprehensive analytical data including HPLC purity, chiral purity assessment, NMR spectroscopic confirmation, and high-resolution mass spectrometry
  • Stereochemical Verification: Enantiomeric purity determination and differentiation between R- and S-configurations where applicable
  • Batch Consistency: Reproducible quality across multiple orders for longitudinal forensic and pharmacological studies
  • Storage Stability: Light-sensitive and potentially hygroscopic compound requiring appropriate packaging and handling protocols
  • Regulatory Documentation: Compliance with international controlled substance scheduling and analogue regulations

Real Chem Supply provides Certificates of Analysis, Safety Data Sheets, and stability data suitable for laboratory accreditation standards including ISO/IEC 17025 requirements.

Types of Products Available
