β-carboline consists of a pyridine ring fused to an indole skeleton; it possesses numerous pharmacological activities, including anticancer. Previously, we reported satisfactory 2D and 3D QSAR study on derivatives. Based studies, designed, synthesized, characterized, screened fourteen derivatives for anticancer activity. Eleven them demonstrated potent activity against both liver (HepG2) adenoc...

In a previous study, a primary culture of midbrain cells was exposed to 9-methyl-carboline for 48 h, which caused an increase in the number of tyrosine hydroxylase-positive cells. Quantitative RT-PCR revealed increased transcription of genes participating in the maturation of dopaminergic neurons. These in vitro findings prompted us to investigate the restorative actions of 9-methyl-carboline i...

Purification of a MeOH extract from the aerial parts of Hylomecon vernalis Maxim. (Papaveraceae) using column chromatography furnished a new acetylated flavonol glycoside (1), together with twenty known phenolic compounds (2-21). Structural elucidation of 1 was based on 1D- and 2D-NMR spectroscopy data analysis to be quercetin 3-O-[4‴-O-acetyl-α-L-arabinopyranosyl]-(1‴→6″)-β-D-galactopyranoside...

A synthetic approach to the modification of drug Riluzole with pharmacologically active fragments (adamantane, carbazole, tetrahydrocarbazole, γ-carboline, and phenothiazine) was proposed, which is based on copper-catalyzed alkyne-azide 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition azide-containing pharmacophores alkyne-containing derivatives Riluzole.

The identification and occurrence of tetrahydro-beta-carbolines were studied in different kinds of commercial sausages including cooked, fresh, dry-fermented, and ripened sausages, such as salamis and Spanish chorizo, salchichon, fuet, and morcilla, both smoked and unsmoked. Four compounds were identified in several sausages by high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS):...

Background: Sustainable and commercial production of secondary metabolites is a critical issue when dealing with its clinical application. Efforts are still being made to look for biotic or abiotic elicitors with more efficient and universal effects on the improvement of secondary metabolites. Objective: In order to evaluate the suitability of different biotic elicitors on P. harmala L. cell...
