Carboline 1-carboxylic acid, β-
Application Notes
β-Carboline 1-carboxylic acid, isolated from Quassia amara, displays antineuroinflammatory activity in lipopolysaccharide-induced BV2 microglial cells, inhibiting the production of nitric oxide and prostaglandin E2. Derivatives of β-carboline 1-carboxylic acid inhibit mitogen-activated protein kinase 2. β-Carboline 1-carboxylic acid is also formed endogenously from tryptophan.
