Common NameNorharman
Descriptionbeta-Carboline, also known as norharman or 9H-beta-carboline, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as beta carbolines. beta-Carbolines are compounds containing a 9H-pyrido[3,4-beta]indole moiety or more generally, a pyridine indole ring fused to an indole skeleton. beta-Carboline (9H-pyridoindole) is an organic amine that is the prototype of beta-carbolines. beta-Carboline is a strong basic compound that has low solubility in water. beta-Carboline has been detected in chicories. beta-Carboline alkaloids are widely distributed in plants and animals and many are inverse agonists of the gamma-amino-butyric acid (GABA)-A receptor complex (PMID: 17334612 ). Other biological activities demonstrated by these compounds include intercalation of DNA (PMID: 20541950); inhibition of cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK), topoisomerase, and monoamine oxidase; and interaction with 5-hydroxy serotonin receptors. These compounds have also exhibited sedative, anxiolytic, hypnotic, anticonvulsant, antitumor, antiviral, antiparasitic, and antimicrobial activities (PMID: 17305548 ). beta-Carboline is formed during the combustion of cannabis and is therefore a constituent of cannabis smoke ( Ref:DOI ).
