Abstrakt: Several N-acyltryptamines were found to inhibit hydroxyindole-O-methyltransferase. Of these inhibitors the most active was N-phenylacetyltryptamine, having an affinity to the enzyme six times greater than the substrate N-acetylserotonin. These studies showed that the alkyl and aralkyl groups of the amides were most likely complexed with the enzyme by hydrophobic bonding.
