Abstract

抄録: Possible formation of a new compound, 3, 4, 5, 6-tetrahydro-7-hydroxy-6-methyl-1H- azepino [5, 4, 3-cd] indole (4a), in serotonergic neuron after drinking ethanol is chemically suggested by reacting serotonin with acetaldehyde in water in the presence of either L- amino acid, nicotine or fluoride.
