beta-Carbolines (BCs) are considered as endogenous neurotoxins that may contribute to the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). However, several lines of evidences show that these compounds have neuroprotective effect. This study was designed to assess effect of long term exposure

Three novel Ru(II) complexes of the general formula [Ru(N-N)(2)(Norharman)(2)](SO(3)CF(3))(2), where N-N = 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy, 1), 1,10-phenanthroline (phen, 2), 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (DIP, 3) and Norharman (9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indole) is a naturally occurring β-carboline alkaloid, have been synthesized and characterized. The molecular structures of 1

A recently developed HPTLC/UV-FLD method was compared to the routinely used HPLC/UV-FLD method for the quantification of heterocyclic aromatic amines (HAA) formed at trace levels during the heating process of meat. For formation of these process contaminants under normal cooking

Monoamine oxidase (MAO) enzymes located in human mitochondria oxidize neurotransmitters and bioactivate the neurotoxin 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) by oxidation to directly-acting neurotoxic pyridinium cations (MPDP⁺/MPP⁺) that produce Parkinsonism. Antioxidants and MAO inhibitors are useful as neuroprotectants. Naturally-occurring substances, antioxidants and redox
The beta-carbolines 1-methyl-9H-pyrido [3,4-b]indole and 9H-pyrido[3,4b]indole have been implicated as having causative roles in a number of human diseases, such as Parkinson's disease and cancer. As they can be formed during the heating of protein-rich food, a number of analytical
