Description:Harmol, with the CAS number 487-03-6, is an indole alkaloid derived from the plant species Peganum harmala, commonly known as Syrian rue. It is characterized by its structural framework, which includes a fused indole and a pyrrole ring. Harmol exhibits psychoactive properties and has been studied for its potential effects on the central nervous system, including its role as a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI). This property may contribute to its use in traditional medicine and its interest in the context of psychoactive research. Harmol is typically found in the form of a white to off-white crystalline solid and is soluble in organic solvents. Its chemical behavior is influenced by the presence of functional groups, which can participate in various chemical reactions. Additionally, harmol has been investigated for its potential therapeutic applications, including its effects on mood and cognition, although further research is necessary to fully understand its pharmacological profile and safety.
