Biological Activity

[Description]:

Tetrahydro-β-carboline (Tryptoline) is a metabolite of tryptamine, also is a competitive serotonin reuptake inhibitor with an Ki value of 6.1 µM[1].

[Related Catalog]:

Research Areas >> Metabolic Disease

Signaling Pathways >> GPCR/G Protein >> 5-HT Receptor

Signaling Pathways >> Neuronal Signaling >> 5-HT Receptor

[Target]

serotonin:6.1 μM (Ki)

[In Vivo]

Tetrahydro-β-carboline (20 µg; i.c.v.) increases the serotonin levels in the same part of the brain in rats[1]. Animal Model: 180-200g female Sprague-Dawley rats[1] Dosage: 20 µg Administration: Intraventricular injection Result: Increased of serotonin levels in the same part of the brain whereas the monoamine oxidase activity was not altered.
