The protective in vivo effects of melatonin or pinoline on carbon tetrachloride (CCl(4))-induced oxidative damage were investigated in liver of rats and compared to rats injected only with CCl(4) (5 mL/kg body weight). Hepatic cell membrane fluidity, monitore...

Pinoline, 6-methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-beta-carboline, is a serotonin analog that selectively inhibits the activity of monoamine oxidase-A and shows antidepressant activity. Our previous study using a panel of recombinant cytochrome P450 (P450) enzymes sugges...

The serum concentrations of aluminum, a metal potentially involved in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease, increase with age. Also, intense and prolonged exposure to aluminum may result in dementia. Melatonin and pinoline are two well known antioxidants t...

Tryptoline and pinoline are two beta-carbolines isolated from the nervous system of mammals. We investigated the ability of these compounds to prevent lipid peroxidation induced by hydrogen peroxide in rat brain homogenates. We also compared their effects wit...

In order to predict the antioxidant activity of 22 pinoline derivatives (1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-beta-carbolines), two dimensional quantitative-structure activity relationships (2D-QSAR) analysis of 19 hexahydropiridoindoles and 12 flavonoids was realized. Five st...

Nitric oxide (NO) is a physiological neurotransmitter, a mediator of the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate pathways that regulates several neuroendocrine functions, but excessive NO is toxic by itself and it interacts with superoxide radical (O(2)(-)) to ...

Neurosci. Lett. 412(3) , 191-4, (2007)

Glutamate is a neurotransmitter associated with oxidative retinal disorders. Pinoline (PIN) and N-acetylserotonin (NAS) are newly identified neural protectors. We investigated the glutamate-induced lipid peroxidation (LPO) and the protective effects of PIN an...

Support or inhibition of DAG-induced head formation: Hydra magnipapillata can be caused to form ectopic head structures by periodictreatmentwith PKC activators such as diacylglycerol (DAG). This ectopic head formation is supported by an extract from the ovine...

A partially purified, melatonin-free low-molecular-weight extract from the ovine pineal gland with antitumor activity (YC05R), interferes with terminal differentiation in the interstitial cell line of Hydra. Nematoblasts developed into defective nematocytes t...

6-MeOTHBC binds to both high and low affinity receptors in human platelets. The beta-carboline is less active than chlorimipramine at the low affinity site, and it is weaker than methysergide, a known 5-HT antagonist, at the high affinity site. The other beta...
