Racemic methtryptoline (1-methyltetrahydro-β-carboline) and 5-hydroxymethtryptoline-9-carboxylic acid (6-hydroxy-1-methyltetrahydro-β-carboline-1-carboxylic acid) were administeredintraperitoneallyto rats and the components of their urine was subsequently investigated by chiral gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Methtryptoline rapidly became hydroxylated in the 5- and 6-position and excreted in urine. There was about a ninefold predominance of the S(−) enantiomer over the other in the 5-hydroxylated species, while the 6-hydroxylation produced a small excess of the R(+) enantiomer. About 75% of the injected dose of methtryptoline was recovered in the urine as 5- and 6-hydroxylated compounds during the first 24 h period, demonstrating that hydroxylation represents the major metabolic pathway. Treatment with 6-hydroxymethtryptoline-9-carboxylic acid led to a fivefold increase in the urinary excretion of 5-hydroxymethtryptoline during the first 24 h period with a predominance of the S(−)-enantiomer, indicating a much smaller conversion rate than from methtryptoline. It was concluded that hydroxylation of methtryptoline is a likely pathway for the natural formation of 5-hydroxymethtryptoline.
