Infobox references

2-Methyltryptoline, also known as 2-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-β-carboline (2-Me-THβC), is a natural product, closely related to tryptoline. An indole alkaloid of the substituted β-carboline family, 2-methyltryptoline is found in the drink ayahuasca, where it was isolated from Psychotria viridis and Psychotria carthagenensis.[1][2][3] 2-Methyltryptoline is also found in some cereal and Papaveraceae plants.

Pharmacology

Pharmacodynamics

Little is known about the psychoactivity of 2-methyltryptoline; however, it is known to be a potent protoxin and, accordingly, a neurotoxin that acts similarly to MPTP (although it does not cause idiopathic Parkinson's disease) and it is assumed that it is an endogenous substance, in the long term it is a monoaminergic neurotoxin.[4][5][6][7][8][9]

2-Methyltryptoline is a reversible inhibitor of monoamine oxidase.[10]

Metabolism

2-Methyltryptoline to neurotoxic β-carbolinium cations is carried out by heme-containing peroxidases (MPO, LPO), MAO (MAO-A or MAO-B, but they did not form active metabolites) and CYP2D6 which formed polar metabolites (hydroxylation at positions 6 and 7), which, judging by their nature, can be considered as detoxification metabolites.[5][6]

Natural occurrence

2-Methyltryptoline has been found in Psychotria viridis, Psychotria carthagenensis,[1][2] in cereal plants such as Arundo donax,[11] Phalaris arundinacea,[12] Phalaris aquatica,[13] Phalaris coerulescens,[14] in Papaveraceae as Papaver rhoeas,[13] in Solanaceae such as Solanum jabrense[15], in some Elaeagnaceae, such as Elaeagnus angustifolia[16] and has been imprinted in Cyathobasis fruticulosa.[17][18]
