MeOTA (5-Methoxytryptamine) is a biogenic amine derived from tryptophan, with a chemical structure consisting of an indole ring and an ethylamine chain, and a molecular formula of C₁₁H₁₄N₂O. It mainly originates from the tryptophan metabolic pathway in living organisms and is found in plant and animal tissues. MeOTA exhibits significant biological activity, participating in various physiological functions such as neural regulation, sleep, and mood control. Its metabolites include 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and melatonin. 5-HT acts as a neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, while melatonin is closely related to the regulation of sleep cycles. The biological activity of these metabolites underscores the importance of analyzing the content of MeOTA and its metabolites in plant and biological samples. Detecting these compounds can help study metabolic changes under physiological and pathological conditions, reveal relevant biological mechanisms, and contribute to disease diagnosis, drug development, and plant function research.
