This review (2015) provides a comprehensive overview of a broad class of serotonergic hallucinogens known as tryptamines, concerning<br />their evolution, prevalence, patterns of use and legal status, chemistry, toxicokinetics, toxicodynamics, and their physiological and toxicological effects on animals and humans. Although classical psychedelics are generally considered to be physiologically safe molecules, there is a lack of information on new tryptamine derivatives, regarding their acute and long-term effects, interactions with other substances, toxicological risk, or addictive potential.
