Abstract: β-Carbolines (βCs) are naturally occurring bioactive alkaloids, whereas α-dicarbonyl compounds are reactive substances generated in foods and in vivo. In this work, l-tryptophan reacted with α-dicarbonyl compounds affording new β-carbolines. Glyoxal afforded 1-hydroxymethyl-β-carboline (HME-βC) and… read more here.
