Medical Definition of Methoxydimethyltryptamines
1. Compounds that contain the biogenic monoamine tryptamine and are substituted with one methoxy group and two methyl groups. Members of this group include several potent serotonergic hallucinogens found in several unrelated plants, skins of certain toads, and in mammalian brains. They are possibly involved in the aetiology of schizophrenia. (12 Dec 1998)
