Summary:A gas chromatographic procedure for determining N, N-dimethyltryptamine and N-monomethyltryptamine in urine is described. The specificity of the procedure was validated by gc ms . Analysis of urine samples from mentally ill subjects confirmed an earlier qualitative study showing significant tendency for dimethyltryptamine excretion to be increased in psychotic subjects.
