BANISTERINE MONOHYDRATE Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Chemical Properties

Off-White Solid

Uses

A CNS stimulant isolated from seeds of Peganum harmala L. Zygophyllaceae

Uses

antiparkinsonian, CNS stimulant

Uses

central nervous system stimulant

Definition

ChEBI: A harmala alkaloid in which the harman skeleton is methoxy-substituted at C-7.

General Description

The combination index (CI, serves as a quantitative indicator of pharmacological interactions) for harmaline/harmine and methylene blue/harmine was studied.

Biological Activity

Central nervous system stimulant.

Synthesis

General procedure for the synthesis of 7-methoxy-1-methyl-9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indole from camptothecin standard 002: 5 mmol of 6-methoxytryptamine was placed in a 100 mL round-bottomed flask, 50 mL of an aqueous solution containing 1 mL of concentrated hydrochloric acid was added, and the reaction was stirred at 30 °C until complete dissolution. Subsequently, 10 mmol of acetaldehyde was added and the reaction was continued for 1 hour. After completion of the reaction, the pH was adjusted to 8 with aqueous sodium bicarbonate, filtered and dried to obtain 1-methyl-7-methoxy-tetrahydro-β-carboline. The dried 1-methyl-7-methoxy-tetrahydro-β-carboline was transferred to another 100 mL round-bottom flask, 50 mL of toluene and 5% Pd/C catalyst were added, and the reaction was refluxed for 24 hours. At the end of the reaction, the catalyst was removed by filtration and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. Finally, it was purified by recrystallization from acetone to give 1-methyl-7-methoxy-β-carboline (3.6 mmol, 72% yield).

storage

Store at RT

Purification Methods

Crystallise harmine from MeOH and sublime it in a vacuum. See hydrochloride below. [Beilstein 23 II 348, 23 III/IV 2702, 23/12 V 237.]
