Product Description
Tetrahydro-β-carboline (Tryptoline) is a metabolite of tryptamine and a competitive serotonin reuptake inhibitor (antagonist) with Ki of 6.1 µM.
Noreleagnine (CAS 16502-01-5), also known as Tryptoline, Tetrahydro-β-carboline, THBC, or Tetrahydronorharman, is a natural organic amine and an alkaloid chemically related to tryptamines. It is a metabolite of tryptamine. Noreleagnine is a competitive serotonin reuptake inhibitor (antagonist) with a Ki of 6.1 µM. It targets the 5-HT 2A receptor (HTR2A) as an inhibitor. It is used in the study of neurodegenerative diseases and as a mitotic kinesin inhibitor as a novel anti-cancer agent.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Noreleagnine targets the serotonin transporter and the 5-HT2A receptor. As a competitive serotonin reuptake inhibitor with a Ki of 6.1 µM, it blocks the reuptake of serotonin, increasing serotonin levels in the synaptic cleft. It also targets the 5-HT 2A receptor (HTR2A) as an inhibitor. This dual mechanism of action on serotonergic signaling makes it relevant for studying mood disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, and cancer. Its role as a mitotic kinesin inhibitor suggests additional targets related to cell division.
ln Vitro
In vitro, Noreleagnine has been characterized as a competitive serotonin reuptake inhibitor with a Ki of 6.1 µM. It targets the 5-HT 2A receptor as an inhibitor. It is used in the study of neurodegenerative diseases. Its activity as a mitotic kinesin inhibitor suggests potential anticancer activity. These in vitro activities confirm its potential for research on serotonergic signaling, neurodegenerative diseases, and cancer.
ln Vivo
Serotonin levels are raised in the same area of the rat brain by tetrahydro-beta-carboline (20 µg; icv) [1].
In vivo studies of Noreleagnine are not extensively documented. As a serotonin reuptake inhibitor and 5-HT2A receptor inhibitor, it may have effects on mood, behavior, and neurological function. Its potential as a mitotic kinesin inhibitor suggests possible anticancer activity in vivo. However, comprehensive in vivo efficacy and safety data are limited. The compound is primarily used in research applications. Further studies are needed to fully characterize its in vivo biological activity and therapeutic potential.
Enzyme Assay
For in vitro biochemical assays, Noreleagnine is evaluated for its serotonin reuptake inhibitory activity and receptor binding. Serotonin reuptake inhibition is measured using assays with synaptosomes or cells expressing the serotonin transporter, determining Ki values (6.1 µM). 5-HT2A receptor binding is assessed using radioligand competition binding assays with membrane preparations from cells expressing the receptor. Kinesin inhibition is assessed using enzyme activity assays. These cell-free and cell-based assays help characterize the compound's multiple biological activities.
Cell Assay
In vitro cellular assays for Noreleagnine are performed using various cell types including neuronal cells, cancer cells, and cells expressing serotonin transporters or 5-HT2A receptors. Cells are cultured in standard media and treated with the compound at various concentrations. Serotonin uptake is measured using radiolabeled serotonin. Receptor binding is assessed using radioligand binding assays. Cell viability and proliferation are assessed using MTT or SRB assays. These cellular assays help validate the compound's serotonin reuptake inhibitory, receptor binding, and anticancer activities.
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: 180-200g female SD (SD (Sprague-Dawley)) rats [1]
Doses: 20 µg
Route of Administration: intracerebroventricular injection
Experimental Results: Serotonin levels increased in the same part of the brain, while monoamine oxidase activity did not change.
In vivo animal experiments with Noreleagnine are not extensively documented. As a serotonin reuptake inhibitor and 5-HT2A receptor inhibitor, it could be studied in models of depression, anxiety, or neurodegenerative diseases. Its potential as a mitotic kinesin inhibitor suggests possible anticancer studies. Administration routes would include oral gavage, intraperitoneal injection, or intravenous injection. Researchers should consult the primary literature for any available in vivo protocols and data.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of Noreleagnine are not extensively documented. As a small molecule with a molecular weight of 172.23, it is expected to have good oral bioavailability and tissue distribution, including penetration of the blood-brain barrier. Detailed PK parameters such as half-life, Cmax, Tmax, AUC, and protein binding are not available in the literature. The compound should be stored under recommended conditions to maintain stability.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The toxicological profile of Noreleagnine is not extensively characterized. As a natural alkaloid related to tryptamines, it may have dose-dependent toxicity at high concentrations. The compound is intended for research use only and not for human therapeutic applications. Comprehensive toxicity studies including acute, subchronic, and chronic toxicity assessments are limited. Researchers should follow standard laboratory safety practices when handling Noreleagnine.

Additional Infomation
2,3,4,9-Tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[3,4-b]indole belongs to the β-carboline class of compounds. It has been reported that the blue tiger fly contains tryptophan, and relevant data exists.
Noreleagnine is a valuable research tool for studying serotonergic signaling, neurodegenerative diseases, and cancer. Its competitive serotonin reuptake inhibition (Ki = 6.1 µM) makes it useful for investigating the role of serotonin in mood disorders and neurological function. Its 5-HT2A receptor inhibition provides opportunities for studying this receptor's role in various physiological and pathological processes. Its potential as a mitotic kinesin inhibitor makes it relevant for cancer research. As a tryptoline alkaloid, it is also important for natural product chemistry research.
