SCHEME 8.27 Tetrahydro- β- carbolines (tryptolines).
Bischler– Napieralski designed a novel method for the preparation of 1,3- diarylated 3,4- dihydro- β- carbolines. Using this process, benzophenone imimine is selectively hydrolyzed, then classic Bischler- Napieralski (Ji et al., 2021) cyclization is performed to produce 1,3- diarylated DHBCs. Corresponding β- carbolines are then obtained through oxidation (Scheme 8.28).
Tetrahydro- β- carbolines were synthesized using an environmentally safe and effective approach that involved the dehydrogenative coupling of alcohols with tryptamines in the presence of a weak base and a catalytic quantity of Mn cata­lyst (Zhihui et al. 2023). This procedure produces good to outstanding yields of the desired products for a range of benzylic and aliphatic alcohols with distinct functional groups. Numerous medicinal compounds, including harman, harmaline, and harmine, were effectively synthesized using this method (Scheme 8.29).
Wu and his co- workers devised a microwave- assisted technique to synthesize 1,2,3,4- tetrahydro- β- carbolines using a soluble polymer support system (Wu et al.

2002). The loading of F- moc protected L- tryptophan on the soluble polymer support in the presence of the coupling agent DCC/ DMAP marked the beginning of this syn­thetic approach. First, the F- moc group was deprotected in the presence of piperidine, and then the Pictet– Spengler cyclization with carbonyl compounds produced 1,2,3,4- tetrahydro- β- carbolines. Treatment of the cyclized product with 1% potassium cyanide in methanol was used to separate the polyethylene glycol support, resulting in the production of 1,2,3,4- tetrahydro- β- carbolines (Scheme 8.30).
An innovative technique for creating stereoselective tetrahydro- carbolines with fused hydantoin under microwave irradiation on the molecular support of soluble biarm hydroxy polymer (polyethylene glycol- 400) was reported by Chang et al. (2006). The easily available NHBoc protected L- tryptophan was reacted with polyethylene glycol- 400 in the presence of DCC/ DMAP to produce the Boc (tert- Butyloxycarbonyl) protected intermediate. The following stage involves deprotecting

the Boc group under microwave irradiation, followed by cyclization with aldehydes to produce tetrahydro- β- carbolines in a cis/ trans isomer ratio of 1:1 Yeh et al. (2007) reported the second diversity, which was developed by applying for the terminal thiohydantoin moiety through the N- 2/ C- 3 bond of the tetrahydro- β- carboline frame. The process of cyclization takes place in between the polymer- attached tetrahydro- β- carboline and substituted isothiocyanates to produce tetrahydro- β- carbolines (Scheme 8.31).
Balogh and co- workers developed a novel one- pot protocol for the synthesis of substituted 3,4- dihydro- β- carbolines (DHβCs) in the presence of T3P (Abranyi- Balogh et al. 2016). The synthesis of isoeudistomin alkaloid, which involves the

reaction of tryptamine and indole- 3- carboxylic acid, was also carried out using this approach (Scheme 8.32).
In another protocol, Verniest and colleagues devised a procedure for N- Tosyl- β- carboline synthesis that involves the reaction of indole substituted N- propargylamides in the AuCl3 and followed by the 6- exo- dig cyclization under milder reaction reactions (Verniest et al. 2010). Easily available as starting materials for the aforesaid syn­thesis is the acylation of N- tosylpropargylamines, which is generated in situ using N- benzyl- 1H- 2- indolecarbonyl chloride (Scheme 8.33).
8.3 β- CARBOLINE AS ANTIDEPRESSANT AGENTS
Both the chemistry and functionality of the brain are affected by depression. Depression is a major mental disorder, which often manifests as exhaustion, apathy, low spirits/ thoughts, lack of concentration, anorexia, sleeplessness. etc. (Bakim et al.
2012). Patients with long- term illnesses like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and HIV fre­quently exhibit depressive symptoms (Skalisz et al. 2002). Mortality and morbidity are brought on by major depressive illnesses, which include post- traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), generalized anxiety, obsessive- compulsive disorder (OCD), and irritability (Muhammad et al. 2013). Many factors are involved in depression such as genetic, psychosocial, physical, biological, etc. Imbalance in the concentration levels of various monoamine neurotransmitters such as serotonin/ 5- hydroxytryptamine (5- HT), norepinephrine/ noradrenaline (NA), dopamine, and their metabolites is the major cause of depression (Ferraz et al. 2019). Medically, tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), serotonin- norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), and other serotonergic synthetic or herbal remedies are frequently used to maintain the pathophysiological effects of depression (Hamid et al. 2017). The primary cause of depression is monoaminergic activity in the brain. The concentration levels of amine

neurotransmitters in the central nervous system are modulated by MAO enzyme, which serves as a catalyst for neurotransmitter oxidative deamination (Herraiz et al.
β- Carbolines
2018). Thus, inhibition of MAO is essential to maintain balanced levels of 5- HT, dopamine, and norepinephrine/ noradrenaline (NA) neurotransmitters in the brain by preventing their degradation and reuptake. An imbalance of dopamine in the brain causes symptoms of depression such as feelings of sadness and hopelessness, while an imbalance of serotonin affects the processing of emotions. Dopamine, norepin­ephrine, and serotonin are the three neurotransmitters linked to depression. The main purpose of an antidepressant is to treat depression. By changing the networks and chemicals that transmit signals through nerve pathways to the brain, antidepressants are helpful in treating depression The ve main categories of antidepressants are as follows:
[a] Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) [b] Serotonin and nor- epinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) [c] Tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) [d] Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) [e] Atypical antidepressants
The neurochemical effects of antidepressants vary depending on the moieties such as aromaticity, functional groups, chain conformations, etc., with varying degrees of SAR (Ayoob et al. 2017). β- Carboline analogues have distinctive pharmacophore characteristics that express their interactions with the depressive syndromes- related processes. The beta- carboline alkaloids like harmine, harman, and nor- harman (e) are MAO inhibitors present in a wide variety of plant products, including foods, medicines, and narcotics. For example, 6- methoxy- 1,2,3,4- tetrahydro- β- Carboline (pinoline) lowers depression symptoms by competitively blocking the function of the MAO- A and by directly binding to the serotonin transporter, avoiding serotonin absorption into the brain’s synaptosomes and platelet (Jiang et al. 2009). Through the restriction of MAO- A and 5- HT reuptake and related selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor- binding process, pinoline functions as an antidepressant (Pähkla et al.
2000). The possible antidepressant effects of β- carboline derivatives are outlined in Table 8.1, along with the mechanisms of action shown in both in vivo and in vitro investigations.
The β- Carboline scaffolds have a signicant role in biological function. When different positions 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 are substituted, several physiologically active molecules with a broad spectrum of pharmacological actions are produced (Thatikayala et al. 2022). (Figure 8.7).
The main biochemical theory of depression disorders is the monoamine hypoth­esis. It was rst put forth in the 1950s (Freis et al. 1954) and explains depression as the result of a change in the levels of one or more monoamines, such as serotonin (5- HT), dopamine (DA), and noradrenaline (NA). Noradrenergic, serotoninergic, and dopaminergic neurons are widely distributed throughout the central nervous system.

In general, NA affects how the prefrontal cortex works, how working memory is processed, and how behavior and attention are controlled. The most cohesive network of neurotransmitters in the brain is 5- HT, which is essential for controlling mood, emotion, and motor function. Depressive behaviors may be inuenced by hypo- or hyperserotoninergic states, indicating that this monoamine plays a critical role in regulating other neurotransmitters that are also connected to depressive disorders. Lastly, DA regulates working memory, attention, reward and motivation processes, and motor coord­ination (Jesulola et al. 2018; Hamon et al. 2013; Belzung et al. 2015; Dean et al. 2017; Goldberg et al. 2014). This means that many behavioral signs of depression, including low mood, alertness, decreased motivation, exhaustion, aggressiveness, impaired focus, and cognitive performance, may be caused by monoaminergic system failure (Jesulola et al. 2018). Because of this, the majority of antidepressant drugs function by raising monoamine levels in synaptic clefts and subsequently regulating the corresponding neurotransmission systems. Numerous investigations have shown that by inhibiting MAO (Kim et al. et al. 1997) and 5- HT reuptake (McIsaac et al. 1972), β- carbolines raise the extracellular concentration levels of these monoamines in various brain areas. The oxida­tive deamination of monoamines is catalyzzed by MAOs, a family of avin- containing amine oxidoreductases that are typically found within the outer mitochondrial membrane.
MAO- A and MAO- B are two isoforms of MAO that have different substrate preferences. MAO- A primarily breaks down 5- HT molecules, while MAO- B has a stronger afnity for phenylethylamine and phenylamine. DA and NA are normally metabolized by both isoforms (Corbineau et al. 2017; Fisar et al. 2016). Previous studies have shown that β- carboline increases 5- HT levels in the synapse by prefer­entially inhibiting MAO- A.

carbolines (βCB).
It is interesting to note that these alkaloids can interact with a variety of cell- surface receptors, including 5- HT2A receptors (Glennon et al. 2000), which are connected to the pharmacology of antidepressants. 5- HT2A, which are G- protein coupled receptors, are found in the brain's thalamus, amygdala, hippocampal, and cortical areas.
Once activated, these receptors can regulate neuronal excitation implicated in depression through modulation of glutamatergic and GABAergic postsynaptic neurons, thereby producing antidepressant effects (Guiard et al. 2015). β- carbolines interact with GABAA receptors in addition to serotoninergic receptors. In this situ­ation, an inverse- agonistic mechanism is at work, which lowers inhibitory postsynaptic signals and subsequently modies the antidepressant- like effects of monoamines, such as 5- HT. Since certain carbolines serve as reverse agonists of GABAA receptors they directly affect the 5- HT system by inhibiting MAO- A and 5- HT reuptake pro­cess (Herraiz et al. 2010).
Figure 8.8 demonstrate the primary chemical processes that underlie the antidepressant- like effects of β- carbolines.

8.4 β- CARBOLINE AS ANTI- INFLAMMATORY AGENTS
The β- carboline derivatives with diversied substitution at positions like 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, and 9 showcase a variety of biological activities. According to Medzhitov et al.
β- Carbolines
(2008), inammation is an adaptive reaction brought on by unpleasant stimuli and circumstances including infection and tissue damage. The majority of the cellular and molecular pathophysiology of inammation is mediated by proinammatory cells, primarily activated macrophages, which produce a variety of inammatory mediators, such as reactive oxygen species (ROS), nitric oxide (NO), interleukin- 6 (IL- 6), pros­taglandin E2 (PGE2), and tumor necrosis factor- a (TNF- a) (Laskin et al. 2011; Kang et al. 2012). Many diseases, including sepsis, rheumatoid arthritis, atherosclerosis, and even cancer, are mediated or made worse by an excess or uncontrolled synthesis of these mediators (Tabas et al. 2013). Nuclear factor erythroid 2- related factor 2 (Nrf2) is a transcription factor involved in the regulation of inammation. Through consensus sequences known as antioxidant- response elements, Nrf2, a member of the basic- leucine zipper transcription factor, controls the expression of many detoxifying and antioxidant genes, including heme oxygenase- 1 (HO- 1), NAD(P) H:quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1), glutathione S- transferases, and g- glutamyl cyst­eine synthetase catalytic subunit (GCLC) (Jaramillo et al. 2013). When Nrf2 is bound to the Kelch- like ECH- associated protein (Keap1), it enters the Keap1- Cul3- E3 ubi­quitin ligase complex, which subsequently ubiquitinates and degrades Nrf2 (Jaramillo et al.). In response to oxidative stress, Nrf2 is released from Keap1, moves to the nucleus, forms a heterodimer with the tiny Maf protein, and binds to sites associated with antioxidants in the promoter regions of genes that are cytoprotective and antioxi­dant (Jaramillo et al. 2013).
β- carboline’s anti- inammatory properties were attained by inhibiting the gener­ation of nitric oxide and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)- alpha in lipopolysaccharide­stimulated murine RAW264 and human THP- 1 cells. In RAW264 cells, β- carboline exhibited more potent TNF- alpha suppression effects compared to butein and refer­ence polyphenol. It was also discovered that β- carboline inhibited the production of interleukin- 6 in RAW264 cells (Yamazaki et al. 2011). Furthermore, another way that Nrf2 might be activated is by phosphorylation. It has been demonstrated that several kinases are involved in the phosphorylation of Nrf2, including mitogen- activated pro­tein kinases (MAPKs) including extracellular signal- regulated kinases (ERK), c- jun N- terminal kinases (JNK), and p38 kinases (Aleri et al. 2008). Neurodegenerative disorders, aging, diabetes, photooxidative stress, cardiovascular disease, inam­mation, pulmonary brosis, acute pulmonary damage, and cancer have all been demonstrated to be protected against by activating the Nrf2 defense response (Boutten et al. 2011).
According to Paine et al. (2010), HO- 1 is the main antioxidative and anti- inammatory enzyme that is controlled by activating Nrf2. The rate- limiting enzym­atic phase of heme breakdown is catalyzed by heme oxygenase (HO), which also generates carbon monoxide, ferrous iron, and biliverdin. Biliverdin reductase then converts biliverdin into bilirubin (Paine et al. 2010). HO- 1 and HO- 2 are two known genetically different HO isozymes (Paine et al. 2010). The constitutive isoform is represented by HO- 2 (Paine et al. 2010). On the other hand, a variety of triggers,

such as inammatory mediators and factors associated with oxidative stress, signi­cantly upregulate the inducible isoform HO- 1 (Maines et al. 2001). According to Abraham et al. (2008), HO- 1 preserves cellular homeostasis and is crucial for tissue protection by lowering oxidative damage and lowering the inammatory response. In activated macrophages, the expression of HO- 1 or carbon monoxide therapy inhibits the production of proinammatory cytokines and chemokines (Choo et al. 2015). Accordingly, using natural phytochemicals to target the Nrf2/ HO- 1 pathway may be a useful tactic for the management or prevention of inammatory illnesses (Motterlini et al. 2014).
In Southeast Asian nations, Eurycoma longifolia Jack (Simaroubaceae) is a sig­nicant medicinal plant (Bhat et al. 2010). Quassinoids, canthin- 6- one, β- carboline alkaloids, and other bioactive components found in the plant are responsible for E. longifolia’s efcacy (Bhat et al. 2010). According to a recent study (Tran et al.
2014), some quassinoids and β- carboline alkaloids from E. longifolia exhibit strong NF- kB inhibitory effects when TNF- a is present. Nevertheless, not much research has been done on E. longifolia’s anti- inammatory properties. Searching further for Nrf2 activators in herbal medicinal plants, they discovered a strong Nrf2 activator in 7- MCPA, a β- carboline alkaloid isolated from E. longifolia hairy- root cultures. In this work, we used RAW264.7 cells to examine the anti- inammatory proper­ties of 7- MCPA as well as its underlying processes. Here, we demonstrated how 7- MCPA prevented mice from developing septic shock from lipopolysaccharide (LPS)- induced inammation in vivo by activating the Nrf2/ HO- 1 pathway through a ROS- dependent p38 MAPK pathway. Strongly inhibiting the generation of NO, the anti- inammatory chemical (E)- 3- (7- methoxy- 9H- pyrido[3,4- b]indol- 1- yl)acrylic acid was isolated from the hairy- root cultures of Eurycoma longifolia (Ngoc et al.
2016) (Figure 8.9).
8.5 CONCLUSION
This current review chapter summarizes the modern synthetic routes and in vitro and in vivo anti- inammatory, antidepressant properties of β- carbolines. β- carbolines have also been investigated for other biological purposes, but most of the clinical studies are supercial and did not employ detailed experimental studies or molecular mechanisms. More and more techniques are being discovered that are based on ring­closing metathesis, cyclization, condensation, oxidative C- N coupling, and palla­dium catalyzed reductive N- hetero annulation for the synthesis of β- carbolines. The synthetic diversity of the proposed mechanisms and the action of these compounds
