Description

1-Methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-β-carboline-3-carboxylic acid (1-Me-THβC) is a naturally occurring compound found in fermented foods and beverages. It exhibits various pharmacological activities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective properties. Research has shown that 1-Me-THβC has the potential to protect against oxidative stress and neurodegenerative diseases. It has been studied for its effects on memory, learning, and anxiety. The compound's synthesis involves the reaction of tryptamine with a suitable α-keto acid. 1-Me-THβC is of interest to researchers due to its potential therapeutic applications, including its ability to modulate neurotransmitter systems and its role in the formation of certain neurodegenerative plaques.'
