Pinoline is a methoxylated tryptoline that occurs in the pineal gland during the metabolism of melatonin. Its chemical names are 5-methoxytryptoline and 6-methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-β-carboline (6-MeO-THBC). The biological activity of this molecule is of interest as a potential free radical scavenger (antioxidant), similar to that function of melatonin.[1] It also acts as an endogenous MAOI.
