Dehydrobufotenine is a cyclized tryptamine alkaloid related to bufotenin which is found in several toads and a few giant reeds.[1][2][3][4][5] It was first described in the scientific literature by at least the 1940s.[6]

"Dehydrobufotenine: There is a covalent bond formed between the dimethylated nitrogen atom and the indolic 4-position, by the theoretical removal of a molecule of hydrogen. It is no longer a simple tryptamine but as it is a commonly found component of the chemistry of several toads, and a few giant reeds as well, it is included here. It is, by definition, a quaternary amine salt. The original structure assigned it was that of a vinylamine (with the loss of a hydrogen molecule from the alpha/beta chain positions. This was shown to be incorrect."
