Many substances of secondary plant metabolism have often attracted the attention of scientists and the public because they have certain beneficial effects on human health, although the reason for their biosynthesis in the plant remains unclear. This is also the

The specificities of 65 compounds reported to be relatively specific inhibitors of protein kinases have been profiled against a panel of 70-80 protein kinases. On the basis of this information, the effects of compounds that we have studied in cells

3S-Tetrahydro-beta-carboline-3-carboxylic acid (TCCA) effectively inhibits ADP-induced platelet activation. This paper used TCCA as a lead, modified its 2-position with amino acids, and provided 20 novel 3S-2-aminoacyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-beta-carboline-3-carboxylic acids (5a-t). With the in vitro assay, it was demonstrated that this modification diminished

Twenty-three heterocyclic compounds were evaluated for their potential as trypanothione reductase inhibitors. As a result, the harmaline, 10-thiaisoalloxazine, and aspidospermine frameworks were identified as the basis of inhibitors of Trypanosoma cruzi trypanothione reductase. Two new compounds showed moderately strong, linear

High anti-thrombotic activity of aminoacid modified tetrahydro-β-carbolines was generally correlated with a small proximity of the side chain of the aminoacid residue to the carboline-cycle. This paper explored that the aromatization of the tetrahydro-β-carboline-cycle of N-(1-methyl-β-tetrahydrocarboline-3-carbonyl)-N'-(aminoacid-acyl)-hydrazines leaded to N-(1-methyl-β-carboline-3-carbonyl)-N'-(aminoacid-acyl)-hydrazines and
