Chemical Information
FooDB Name1,2,3,4-Tetrahydro-beta-carboline
DescriptionTetrahydro-b-carbolines (THbCs)are potential neuroactive alkaloids found in chocolate and cocoa. The formation of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-/3-carbolines (THBCs), via the Pictet-Spengler condensation of tryptamines with formaldehyde, has been demonstrated repeatedly in incubations of various mammalian tissues containing added indolethylamine substrate and the methyl donors .5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) or S-adenosylmethionine(SAM). It is concluded that the formation of these THBCs is an artifact produced by the enzymatic liberation of formaldehyde from the methyl donors and the subsequent non-enzymatic condensation of this formaldehyde with the indole substrates. The formation of THBCs in vivo has thus remained a point of contention. (PMID: 7213417) [HMDB]. 1,2,3,4-Tetrahydro-beta-carboline is a biomarker for the consumption of beer.
