We isolated seven tryptamine-producing bacteria from commercial salted and fermented sand lance (Ammodytes personatus) sauces using an L-tryptophan decarboxylating medium. These tryptamine-producing bacteria, identified using an API kit and 16S rRNA analysis, included Lysinibacillus xylanilyticus (one strain), Lysinibacillus fusiformis (four strains), and Staphylococcus epidermidis (two strains). Lysinibacillus spp. produced the highest levels of tryptamine in culture broth containing 0.5% L-tryptophan, compared with 1.0% and 2.0% preparations. After 72 h of incubation, Staphylococcus epidermidis produced the highest levels of tryptamine ($60.50{\mu}g/mL$ and $664.86{\mu}g/mL$) in culture broth containing 2.0% L-tryptophan. While Lysinibacillus spp. comprised the dominant tryptamine-producing bacteria in sand lance sauces, Staphylococcus epidermidis also showed high tryptamine-producing activity. This is the first report on the isolation and identification of tryptamine-producing bacteria in sand lance sauces.

갈대(Phragmites communis Trin) 유아(幼芽)를 $27^{\circ}C$의 암소에서 110시간 동안 사경(砂耕) 배양(培養)하였다. 유아(幼芽)가 자라는 동안 일정(一定)한 시간마다 시료(試料)를 채취하여 methanol로 처리(處理)하여 그 추출물(抽出物)에 대하여 thin layer chromatography를 실시(實施)하였다. 그 결과 배양(培養)하지 않은 유아(幼芽)에서는 indole화합물(化合物) 중에서 serotonin, tryptophan, tryptamine이 다량(多量)으로 나타났으나, 배양(培養) 과정(過程) 중에 이들 화합물(化合物)의 감소(減少)와 더불어 다른 여러 가지 indoleamine류(類)의 생합성(生合成)이 현저(顯著)하였다. 즉 배양(培養) 과정(過程) 중에 tryptophan의 양(量)에는 큰 변화(變化)가 없으나, serotonin 및 tryptamine이 감소하면서, 이들의 methyl화(化) 유도체들이 증가(增加) 하였다. 그 증감(增感)의 상호관계(相互關係)를 관찰하여 본 결과, bufotenine은 tryptophan에서 tryptamine을 거쳐 serotonin, N-methylserotonin의 경로(經路)로 합성(合成)될 것임을 시사하였다.

Among 14 subtypes of serotonin receptors (5-HTRs), 5-HT_2AR plays important roles in drug addiction and various psychiatric disorders. Agonists for 5-HT_2AR have been classified into three structural groups: phenethylamines, tryptamines, and ergolines. In this study, the structure-activity relationship (SAR) of phenethylamine and tryptamine derivatives for binding 5-HT_2AR was determined. In addition, functional and regulatory evaluation of selected compounds was conducted for extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs) and receptor endocytosis. SAR studies showed that phenethylamines possessed higher affinity to 5-HT_2AR than tryptamines. In phenethylamines, two phenyl groups were attached to the carbon and nitrogen (R³ ) atoms of ethylamine, the backbone of phenethylamines. Alkyl or halogen groups on the phenyl ring attached to the β carbon exerted positive effects on the binding affinity when they were at para positions. Oxygen-containing groups attached to R³ exerted mixed influences depending on the position of their attachment. In tryptamine derivatives, tryptamine group was attached to the β carbon of ethylamine, and ally groups were attached to the nitrogen atom. Oxygen-containing substituents on large ring and alkyl substituents on the small ring of tryptamine groups exerted positive and negative influence on the affinity for 5-HT_2AR, respectively. Ally groups attached to the nitrogen atom of ethylamine exerted negative influences. Functional and regulatory activities of the tested compounds correlated with their affinity for 5-HT_2AR, suggesting their agonistic nature. In conclusion, this study provides information for designing novel ligands for 5-HT_2AR, which can be used to control psychiatric disorders and drug abuse.

Tryptamines are monoamine alkaloids with hallucinogenic properties and are widely abused worldwide. To hasten the regulations of novel substances and predict their abuse potential, we designed and synthesized four novel synthetic tryptamine analogs: Pyrrolidino tryptamine hydrochloride (PYT HCl), Piperidino tryptamine hydrochloride (PIT HCl), N,N-dibutyl tryptamine hydrochloride (DBT HCl), and 2-Methyl tryptamine hydrochloride (2-MT HCl). Then, we evaluated their rewarding and reinforcing effects using the conditioned place preference (CPP) and self-administration (SA) paradigms. We conducted an open field test (OFT) to determine the effects of the novel compounds on locomotor activity. A head-twitch response (HTR) was also performed to characterize their hallucinogenic properties. Lastly, we examined the effects of the compounds on 5-HTR1a and 5-HTR2a in the prefrontal cortex using a quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) assay. None of the compounds induced CPP in mice or initiated SA in rats. PYT HCl and PIT HCl reduced the locomotor activity and elevated the 5-HTR1a mRNA levels in mice. Acute and repeated treatment with the novel tryptamines elicited HTR in mice. Furthermore, a drug challenge involving a 7-day abstinence from drug use produced higher HTR than acute and repeated treatments. Both the acute treatment and drug challenge increased the 5-HTR2a mRNA levels. Ketanserin blocked the induced HTR. Taken together, the findings suggest that PYT HCl, PIT HCl, DBT HCl, and 2-MT HCl produce hallucinogenic effects via 5-HTR2a stimulation, but may have low abuse potential.

Two hydroxybenzoyl amines, 4-hydroxybenzoyl tyramine (4-HBT) and N-2-hydroxybenzoyl tryptamine (2-HBT), were synthesized using Escherichia coli. While 4-HBT was reported to demonstrate anti-atherosclerotic activity, 2-HBT showed anticonvulsant and antinociceptive activities. We introduced genes chorismate pyruvate-lyase (ubiC), tyrosine decarboxylase (TyDC), isochorismate synthase (entC), isochorismate pyruvate lyase (pchB), and tryptophan decarboxylase (TDC) for each substrate, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (4-HBA), tyramine, 2-hydroxybenzoic acid (2-HBA), and tryptamine, respectively, in E. coli. Genes for CoA ligase (hbad) and amide formation (CaSHT and OsHCT) were also introduced to form hydroxybenzoic acid and amine conjugates. In addition, we engineered E. coli to provide increased substrates. These approaches led to the yield of 259.3 mg/l 4-HBT and 227.2 mg/l 2-HBT and could be applied to synthesize diverse bioactive hydroxybenzoyl amine conjugates.

This study aims to evaluate biogenic amine levels of bez sucuks (BS) produced with different meat:fat ratios. For this, three BS groups were manufactured with meat:fat ratios of 90:10 (BS10), 80:20 (BS20), and 70:30 (BS30). The pH and water activity values and biogenic amine amounts of sucuk samples were determined during processing and storage periods and the pH values of the initial mixtures of BS samples were in the range 5.51-5.74, decreasing to 4.72-4.94 by the $14^{th}$ day. The water activity values of BS samples showed significant decreases as a result of the drying stage and reached to range 0.913-0.935 on the $14^{th}$ day of processing (p<0.05). Although BS10 had the highest tyramine (434.12 mg/kg), histamine (5.69 mg/kg), cadaverine (12.48 mg/kg), putrescine (17.83 mg/kg), 2-phenylethylamine (15.43 mg/kg), and tryptamine (122.41 mg/kg) levels at the end of processing stage (p<0.05), spermine and spermidine levels did not differ between the BS samples due to their utilization of different meat:fat ratios (p>0.05). Similarly, the tryptamine (205.11 mg/kg), putrescine (43.57 mg/kg), and tyramine (766.23 mg/kg) levels of BS10 were higher than BS20 and BS30 samples at the end of storage (p<0.05). The results showed that BS10 with the highest meat ratio had the highest tryptamine, putrescine, and tyramine levels at the end of the processing and storage period.

단백질 구성 아미노산 분석을 위한 효과적인 가수분해 방법을 찾기 위하여 0.3% tryptamine을 함유한 6M formic acid와 6M HCI을 표준 아미노산과 단백질 표준품인 bovine serumn albumin 가수분해에 적용하여 표준아미노산의 회수율과 bovine serum albumin의 아미노산 조성을 분석하였고 GC에 의한 효과적인 아미노산 분석을 위하여 새로운 유도체인 butylthiocarbamyl-trimethylsilyl(BTC-TMS)유도체를 개발하여 분석한 결과는 다음과 같았다 표준아미노산의 회수율은 6M formic acid에 의한 가수분해방법이 6M HCI에 의한 가수분해 방법보다 상당히 정확하였고 특히 산 가수분해에서 tryptamine의 존재하에서도 잘 파괴되는 tryptophan의 경우 formic acid가수분해가 HCI가수분해보다 1.5배정도 높은 회수율을 보였다. Bovine serum albumin의 아미노산 조성을 583 아미노산 잔기로 환산하여 나타내었을 경우도 formic acid에 의한 가수분해가 HCI가수분해 경우보다 훨씬 정확하였고 이 때 tryptophan의 회수율도 훨씬 높게 나타났다. 다만 서열분석에서 분석되지 않는 cystine이 formic acid 가수분해시 분석되고 있어 이에 대한 정확한 검정이 필요하였다. BTC-TMS 유도체는 GC분석시 극성이 다소 낮은 DB-l7 column으로 분리가 잘되었고 재현성도 좋았으나 GC분석을 위한 대부분의 유도체에서와 마찬가지로 몇 가지 아미노산에서 두 개의 peak로 나타나는 결점이 있었다.

Objectives: This study was conducted to estimate the related health risk by investigating the content of biogenic amines (BAs) in commercial fermented alcoholic beverages. Methods: Ninety-seven samples, including takjus (34), fruit wines (26), distilled liquors (20) and beers (17) were purchased in Gangwon-do (Province) in 2019. The eight BAs (putrescine, cadaverine, spermine, spermidine, tyramine, β-phenylethylamine, histamine, and tryptamine) were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatograph (HPLC) after extraction (0.4 M HClO₄), pigment removal (carbon cartridge) and derivatization (1% dansylchloride). The health risk of exposure to BAs due to ingestion of commercial fermented alcoholic beverages was estimated as the margin of exposure (MOE). Results: Various BAs were detected in takju, fruit wine, distilled liquor and beer. Putrescine (not detected (ND)-12.60 mg/L), cadaverine (ND-5.45 mg/L), tyramine (ND-8.34 mg/L), β-phenylethylamine (ND-13.73 mg/L), histamine (ND-7.96 mg/L), and tryptamine (ND-19.00 mg/L) were found in takju. Putrescine (ND-15.34 mg/L), cadaverine (ND-7.90 mg/L), β-phenylethylamine (ND-3.06 mg/L), histamine (ND-9.68 mg/L), and tryptamine (ND-14.06 mg/L) were identified in fruit wine. Putrescine (less than limit of detection (
