'''N-Methyltryptamine (NMT), also known as monomethyltryptamine', is a chemical compound of the tryptamine family and a naturally occurring compound found in various plants and animals, including humans.
It is biosynthesized in humans from tryptamine by certain N-methyltransferase enzymes, such as indolethylamine N-methyltransferase. It is a known component of human urine. NMT is an alkaloid derived from L-tryptophan that has been found in the bark, shoots and leaves of several plant genera, including Virola, Acacia, Mimosa, and Desmanthus—often together with the related compounds N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT) and 5-methoxy-N,N''-dimethyltryptamine (5-MeO-DMT).
