Bufotenin

/ˌbjuːfəˈtɛnɪn/ noun

Definition

An alkaloid compound found in toad secretions, chemically similar to serotonin and known for psychoactive properties.

Etymology

From 'Bufo' (toad) plus 'tenin,' possibly derived from 'tension' or a Latin word for 'to stretch,' referring to its effects on the nervous system.

Kelly Says

Bufotenin is structurally similar to serotonin, the brain's 'happy chemical'—this connection between toad toxins and human neurotransmitters reveals how all vertebrate life is fundamentally made of similar molecular machinery.
