General description
Norharmane is an alkaloid widely present in living organisms and can also be chemically synthesized. It is a β-carboline derivative composed of indole and pyridine.
Application
Norharmane has been used:
- as a β-carboline to study its effect on nigrostriatal dopamine (DA) neurons
- as an internal standard in gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analyses using Conidiobulus coronatus filtrates
- as a β-carboline-3-carboxylic acid N-methylamide (CMA) analog to study its binding ability with Mcm2-7 (minichromosome maintenance)
Biochem/physiol Actions
Inhibitor of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO).
Norharmane and its derivative exhibit anti-cancer properties. It acts as a monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitor and might benefit Parkinson′s disease (PD). High levels of β-carboline in plasma are found in PD.
