9-Methyl-β-carboline (9-Me-BC) | CAS 2521-07-5 | Nootropic

Product Name: 9-Methyl-β-carboline (9-Me-BC)
CAS No.: 2521-07-5

What is 9-Methyl-β-carboline?

9-Me-BC is a methylated derivative of β-carboline with the molecular formula C₁₂H₁₀N₂. Beta-carbolines (BCs) are derived from tryptophan and its metabolites, produced endogenously in mammals and humans. They are present in the human brain, cerebrospinal fluid, and plasma.

9-Me-BC is a nootropic agent that has been confirmed by scientific research as a cognitive enhancer. Studies have shown that this β-carboline can improve dopamine uptake — a neurotransmitter associated with pleasure, motivation, mood, memory, and attention. This is achieved by stimulating the growth of dopaminergic neurons in the hippocampus for memory preservation.

9-Methyl-β-carboline powder exerts a wide range of effects on physiological function. It is a full-spectrum nootropic agent with a longer duration of action than many cognitive enhancers.

Mechanism of Action

The chemical structure of 9-Me-BC consists of a benzene ring substituted with a piperidine group and an additional methyl group attached to carbon No. 8.

In 9-Me-BC, the central nitrogen atom of the piperidine group is replaced by a carbon atom. This modification allows the compound to enhance memory and cognitive abilities.

In the brain, 5-HT₁A receptors are located on neurons responsible for transmitting information to other neurons. When these receptors receive signals from other cells, they trigger neuronal regeneration and protection. When neurons are activated, they send signals to other brain neurons, causing them to become activated as well.

Effects & Benefits

9-Methyl-β-carboline powder has a wide range of effects on physiological function. It is a full-spectrum nootropic agent with effects lasting longer than many cognitive enhancers.
