Theoretical report:
So SWIM decided to get analytical on some jungle spice. injected some more into GC-MS and started looking at the mass spectra of some of the minor components. Note that again dmt again was the major SWIM repeats major component of this mixture. SWIM found a minor peak with a mass of 186 whose spectra matched with 1-methyl-1 2,3,4-tetrahydro-beta-carboline and also evidence for a quinione with methyl substituent peak which could maybe be a break down product of the above beta carboline. also note that the peak shape is very strange for this beta-carboline suggesting that it is actually a bigger molecule falling apart because if you look at the later parts of the peak more ions appear with higher mass the other masses are: 207, 341 (base peak), 475 (also 477 which is the same as yuramamine), and 563. note that the fragmentation of this molecule does not match yuramamine at all but this could be because its falling apart or some other similar artifact is formed and thats whats being seen.
so now SWIMs thoughts. the concentration doesnt make much sense dmt is by far the major component and this peak is basically a trace component barely above the baseline. could this compound be that active!? if so SWIM should not be posting here but publishing haha. but anyway also we could be seeing a sort of half volatilized compound, the temperature used to inject was 290 degrees C so if the main compound has a higher mass then 186 and 186 is just an artifact from heating then this compound as a whole SWIM doubts would be vaporized when smoking jungle spice because DMT vaporizes at much lower temperatures. but the compound could break down and lead to these weird structures SWIM has observed. anyway it appears that jungle spice when analyzed by GC-MS contains trace amounts of a beta carboline like structure which is most likely an artifact resulting from the degradation of either DMT or yuramamine like compound. LC-MS should answer the temperature problems but alas SWIM has not the time to do that theoretical analysis (for now).
anyone know anything about the biological activity of this beta carboline also has anyone tried injesting jungle spice orally?
