General description
- Harmane is a potent tremor-producing β-carboline alkaloid and neurotoxin.
- It is major representative of heterocyclic aromatic amines, a group of mutagenic and carcinogenic substances which are formed in meat from the precursors creatine, creatinine, amino acids and sugars during the heating at high temperatures.
- Blood harmane concentration is elevated in essential tremor, late-life neurological disease.
Application
- Harmane was used in trace level determination of harmane by planar chromatography coupled with (tandem) mass spectrometry.
- It was used to study interactions of norharman and harman with DNA.
- It may be used as matrix for analysis of cyclodextrins and for sulfated oligosaccharides in combination with DHB as co-matrix.
Biochem/physiol Actions
I1 imidazoline binding site agonist.
Preparation Note
Harmane dissolves in methanol at a concentration of 50mg/ml to form a clear, colourless to yellow solution.

The present work describes the interaction of a promising cancer cell photosensitizer, harmane (HM), with a model transport protein, Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA). The studied molecule of interest (HM) belongs to the family of naturally occurring fluorescent drug-binding alkaloids, the

The interactions of norharman (9H-pyrido [3,4-b] indole) and harman (1-methyl-9H-pyrido [3,4-b] indole) with DNA were studied. DNA caused remarkable fluorescence quenching and change in the absorption spectra of the dyes. Scatchard plots obtained by optical titration gave Kd values of

β-carboline alkaloids such as harmane (HA) are naturally present in the human food chain. They are derived from the plant Peganum harmala and have many cognitive effects. In the present study, effects of the nicotinic system of the dorsal hippocampus
