Metabolite Identification
Common NameHarmol
DescriptionHarmol belongs to the class of organic compounds known as harmala alkaloids. Harmala alkaloids are compounds with a structure based on harmaline, harmine, harmalol, harman or a derivative of those parents. These parents are beta-carbolines, consisting of a pyrimidine fused to the pyrrole moiety of an indole to form a pyrido[3,4-b]indole. Harmol has been detected, but not quantified in, a few different foods, such as fruits, herbs and spices, and sea-buckthornberries (Hippophae rhamnoides). This could make harmol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Harmol.
