| Common Name | (1xi,3xi)-1,2,3,4-Tetrahydro-1-methyl-beta-carboline-3-carboxylic acid |
|---|
| Description | (1Xi,3xi)-1,2,3,4-Tetrahydro-1-methyl-beta-carboline-3-carboxylic acid, also known as MTCA, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as harmala alkaloids. Harmala alkaloids are compounds with a structure based on harmaline, harmine, harmalol, harman or a derivative of those parents. These parents are beta-carbolines, consisting of a pyrimidine fused to the pyrrole moiety of an indole to form a pyrido[3,4-b]indole (1xi,3xi)-1,2,3,4-Tetrahydro-1-methyl-beta-carboline-3-carboxylic acid is a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). Outside of the human body, (1xi,3xi)-1,2,3,4-Tetrahydro-1-methyl-beta-carboline-3-carboxylic acid has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as alcoholic beverages, fruits, herbs and spices, and mushrooms. (1xi,3xi)-1,2,3,4-Tetrahydro-1-methyl-beta-carboline-3-carboxylic acid is found in Lepidium meyenii, Lethasterias nanimensis and Oxalis pes-caprae. This could make (1XI,3XI)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-methyl-beta-carboline-3-carboxylic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. |
