N-Benzoyltryptamine (3), previously isolated from Myrtopsis myrtoidea and a new analogue, N-salicyloyltryptamine (5), were prepared by coupling tryptamine with benzoylchloride and methyl salicylate, respectively. Their structural elucidation was made by the usual spectroscopic methods and two-dimentional NMR techniques COSY, COBY and HMBC. N-salicyloyltryptamine (5) was submitted to pharmacological screening behavior, showing depressant effects
