  • Applications

    Harmine Hydrochloride is primarily used in pharmaceutical and biological research as a tool compound: it is a reversible MAO-A inhibitor and provides a beta-carboline scaffold for the synthesis of related derivatives. It is also employed as an analytical standard/reference in chemical analysis (e.g., HPLC/LC-MS) to quantify beta-carbolines in samples. As a synthetic intermediate, it serves as a starting material for beta-carboline libraries and related derivatives. In laboratory settings, it is evaluated as a research tool in neuroscience and biochemistry contexts.
